This kills the arthouse. This would mean no Moonlight, no The Salesman, no Toni Erdmann, and no [bunch of other major films], films which, for a sizeable minority, are the sole films that keep them interested in this site. Don't necessarily disagree with the principle--a minimum of 50 sounds somewhat reasonable--but then, on the other hand, there's merit in giving attention to niche films that they wouldn't have otherwise gotten, like just happened with that Japanese film paulofilmo is interested in.

edit: Sieranevada, a Cristi Puiu film, has 43 rankings, so forget what I said about the minimum of 50 sounding reasonable .

Even better would be a Bayesian average, that takes into account both the average tier and number of ratings. IMDB's Top 250 list uses it, as does RottenTomatoes' "Golden Tomato" Year-end awards. And, you could have 2 lists, one for wide-releases and another for limited-release.

First off, I like arthouse much more than run of the mill Hollywood crap. If I had the chance, I'd watch more of it, but I just can't. Almost all the 60 movies I ranked with a 2016 release date (and I'd think that's above average) were wide release movies which ended up in the lower half of my tiers with a few exceptions.

My assumption is if you watch arthouse, you made an extra effort to find it (think globally act locally), and that's because you wanted to watch something you were almost certain you'd enjoy, (see Paulofilmo's reaction to that Japanese flick). Thus, Criticker is much more likely to have a high average tier for these titles, especially with a late 2016 release date and fewer rankings. Result: the list can't really reflect the community in general.

However, I really liked MontyCircus idea to have two different lists, 10 art (no limit) + 10 wide release movies with a min of number of rankings would make my day and I'm guessing everyone would be happy, except Mike who has to do two lists instead of one
