Frequently asked
- What is the best Hollywood Sci-Fi movie of all time?

- How is this list ranked?
- We rank by IMDb rating using a Bayesian weighted score (IMDb's own Top-250 method), which balances a title's rating against how many people voted — so a very high score from only a handful of votes doesn't outrank a slightly lower score from tens of thousands. Titles need a minimum vote count to qualify.
