Check out my Official Top 50 Narrative Feature Films Under 2,500 Ratings to see the films that would be on this list and/or the official list if they had 2,500 ratings.
Shoutout to the useful and much more popular Good Films, 90 Minutes or Less and of course to Dave Vis who maintains the official top 250 list that I cloned to make this one.
