Films with most polarized rankings?

Postby nauru on Sun Mar 25, 2012 9:27 pm

Just curious about which films people have found to be the most polarizing.

So this would be a large number of users giving the film tier 1, 2, 9 and 10 rankings, with much fewer rankings in tiers 3 to 8.

Love it or hate it films.

One film that sort of fits this classification is Fahrenheit 9/11. (not perfect fit; more of a "like it or hate it" than a true "love it or hate it")

Yeah looks like it.

Interesting that most of the films I expected to be highly polarizing aren't really, at least not among Criticker users.

For example:
Bojangles wrote:Napoleon Dynamite
Bowling for Columbine
Natural Born Killers

all have pretty normal looking stats, as well as the rest of Michael Moore's documentaries except Fahrenheit 9/11.

In the Realm of the Senses (1976) looks a lot like the Fahrenheit 9/11 graph.

Haha one-sided as they are, that's their official classification. As opposed to his comedy film Canadian Bacon.

Fahrenheit 9/11 has extremely normal-looking stats, too. Yeah, there are a lot of T1s, but very few T9s-T10s. Thankfully, we don't have that many brain-dead liberals on this site.
