Movies were deemed eligible for the survey if they were rated by at least 10 people. I found 72 movies (or television shows) with this attribute.
The distribution by decade of release (number / percent of total):
2001 – present: 34 / 47%
1991 – 2000: 14 / 19%
1981 – 1990: 6 / 8%
1971 – 1980: 12 / 17%
1961 – 1970: 3 / 4%
1951 – 1960: 2 / 3%
1941 – 1950: 1 / 1%
The best rating a movie can receive on Netflix is 5 stars. There are, then, two measures of the collective affection or regard for a movie: the cumulative number of stars awarded and the average rating.
All but four of the movies in the survey had cumulative ratings of over 50. Three movies were rated above 100. In the following distribution, the cumulative score and number of raters follow the name of the movie.
