The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover 1989

Films that are structured into chapters are a storytelling technique that allows for a non-linear narrative or the division of a longer story into smaller, more manageable parts. In these films, each chapter is a distinct segment or scene that serves to advance the plot or to provide different perspectives or flashbacks. This structure can create a sense of unpredictability and keep the audience engaged, as they are constantly presented with new information and twists in the story. Examples of films that are divided into chapters include "Pulp Fiction" (1994), "The Killer" (1989), and "Interstellar" (2014). The use of chapters in films allows filmmakers to be more experimental and inventive in their storytelling, and to create unique and memorable movie experiences.

films that are elevated or sophisticated in their themes, style, and execution, often blurring the lines between traditional genre conventions and arthouse or experimental cinema. These movies are often considered to be a combination of commercial appeal and artistic merit, combining elements of popular genres such as crime, science fiction, or horror, with more serious and thought-provoking themes, innovative cinematography, and a focus on character development. High art genre movies are often more character-driven and less reliant on conventional plot structures, and they challenge the audience's expectations while providing a unique and engaging viewing experience.

Rotten Tomatoes - Best of year

I started off by gathering ratings from IMDB (User/Critic Average), Rotten Tomatoes (Tomatometer, Critic Average, Audience Score, User Average), Metacritic (Critic Average, User Average) and Letterboxd (User Average). I was then able to determine a rating (out of 10) for each individual rating and therefore come up with an average rating for each site. Each site’s average rating was then weighted fairly so that no site’s ratings were favored above the rest.

The next step was to make sure that each film was treated fairly. Other top movie list’s like IMDb’s Top 1000 removes films that have under a certain viewing number (25,000 I think), but rather than ruling out films that may have been overlooked by the general audience (especially older films), I opted to alter these films score by carefully deducting points depending on how many people have seen it, and therefore voted on it. I also thought it was needed to make sure that recent films (released within the past 36 months) were also not favored, as it usually takes 3 years for the average rating to settle down. So I also added a deduction to these films that fell under this rule.

Non-comedies

One man's journey to watch 3650 movies of the 80s

Comedy films that sway outside the mainstream. Dark, strange, unusual, outright bizare and so bad they're good. I have also thrown in a couple of not so strange comedies from independent studios that deserve a mention. Adding more every day.
