Inclusion criteria
In the algorithm to calculate the best movies, the average number of votes on all movies is taken into account. Only movies which have a number of votes which lies in the range between two limit values are counted. The lower limit is the average number of votes on all movies subtracted by an arbitrary number of standard deviations. The upper limit is the average increased by a number of standard deviations.

The lower limit helps to block out movies which were only reviewed by a few people. I.e. one or two persons giving the movie the maximum number of points makes this movie not the best one. The upper limit blocks out movies with an extreme number of votes compared with other movies. I.e. 80 votes for one movie where the average number of votes is 14 votes. This occurs for example if you ask all your friends to give the maximum of votes for your movie. Besides of that it's only possible to make one vote on the same movie from one unique IP-address. When you are voting again and again on the same movie using a dynamicly assigned IP-address (dial-in) the upper limit will come into effect. This algorithm is not perfect, but helps to get more accurate results. Besides of that only movies which have an age of at least half a year are taken into account.
