The IMDb Top 250 on 1st January, 2021
Introduction
To help track the Change in the IMDb Top 250, I grab a static copy of that list each 1st January. Here's the list as it was on 1st January, 2021, with some data that ties it to previous years.
Here are equivalent pages for 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2004.
Of course, the list changes all the time. Here's the current version of the IMDb Top 250 at the Internet Movie Database.
The Usual Suspects | The New Batch | The Departed
Key
This list is in ranking order and lists the title, year and director of each film, with a link to its IMDb page, along with its position (if applicable) in the list I grabbed on 1st January of each year from 2020 to 2013, as well as at some point in mid-2004. The last column highlights the change in position over the last twelve months. A film that wasn't in the list in 2020 is a new entry, even if it was in the list in a previous year.
Notes
There's much worthy of note in this New Year's list.
Averages
The averages aren't surprising. The mean gradually gets newer at roughly one year per year and, no doubt, it will continue to do so because people keep on making new films. This year it stays at 1987 for a second year.
The median ought to get newer too, but it does that less cleanly. It's up a year to 1995. That means that there are as many films in the list released after 1995 as before it.
The mode, the year most represented in the list, is the one value that doesn't have to get newer at all. Right now, it's 1995, for an eighth year running, and there are eight films from that year represented, two more than any other. Those with six are 1957, 2000, 2004, 2009 and 2013. 1957 is often seen as world cinema's greatest year, though only the two Ingmar Bergmans (The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries are foreign language from those six; while Hollywood's golden year of 1939 is once again only represented by two films, Gone with the Wind and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
Decade Change
The oldest film in the list remains Charlie Chaplin's The Kid, released in 1921, so celebrating its centennial this year in style. It's one of six films from the 1920s in this year's list, three years older than the next oldest, which is Buster Keaton's Sherlock, Jr..
It's rare for an older decade to increase in representation, but the 1970s did this year, the only decade to do so except, as expected, for the 2010s. This was due to the new entry of a 1971 Indian film called Anand. Going backwards from the 2010s, each decade has fewer films in the list, except for the 1950s, with 23, more than the 18 from the 1960s and the 19 from the 1970s.
New Entries
New entries used to include a combination of brand new English language films and classic foreign films, but this year is very different. There are only two 2020 films in the list, Hamilton and Soul, reflecting how hard the industry was hit this year by COVID-19. There are six others from the 2010s, hailing from around the globe, and a string of classics, again from multiple countries.
The highest new entry is Hamilton, at 52, followed by Akira Kurosawa's High and Low at 83, which has now reached the 25,000 vote threshold required to be eligible. It was released in 1963
Three films re-enter the list, having been missing in 2020 but in the list in at least one previous year. The surprise re-entry is To Be or Not to Be, the 1942 Ernst Lubitsch comedy, which fell out of the list when the vote threshold was increased but which has now reached that threshold afresh. This is one reason why the list is skewed to modern, because 25,000 votes are nothing for a new Hollywood blockbuster but a heck of a lot for a film that's now almost eighty years old.
Ups
As always, more films dropped than rose, given that new entries inevitably bounce everything downwards. However, the list was more stable than last time out and only six films climbed by more than ten places.
Two films climbed notably this year, including last year's highest climber, Come and See. The Russian war movie rose 29 places last year and another 30 this year, meaning that, in the five years it's been in the Top 250, it's risen from 181 to 109. The other was the multi-national production, Capernaum, which entered the list at 110 last year and rose to 82.
Downs and Outs
As always, the biggest drops were mainstream Hollywood films that were new entries in 2020: Marriage Story entered at 163 last year but was gone this year, meaning a drop of at least 78 places, while fellow Netflix original, The Irishman, dropped out from last year's 213. Ford v Ferrari dropped 73 places from 130 to 203 and Joker dropped 34 places from 26 to 60. Of the other major fallers, three are Indian films and four are classic American movies.
Two films gone from this year's list have been in every list I've grabbed, including 2004. They're Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Terminator. Two others have been mainstays, even if they've vanished on a previous occasion. Castle in the Sky has floated around the 230s and 240s since at least 2013 but it slipped out in 2017 and is gone again this year. Similarly, Infernal Affairs has been in seven of the past eight lists, but was gone in 2019 and is gone again this year, having spent 2020 in 250th place.
Other classics to drop out this year include The Red Shoes, Ace in the Hole, White Heat and Akira, all after a single year in the list. Other notable films to vanish include the Indian cricket movie, Lagaan; the Disney animation Aladdin; and the Marvel blockbuster, Guardians of the Galaxy.
Directors
Back in 2004, 152 directors (or directing partnerships) were represented in the Top 250. The most frequent name was Alfred Hitchcock, with nine films in the list, and Stanley Kubrick was nipping at his heels with eight. Most of the frequent directors were from the classic era, including Billy Wilder with six; Akira Kurosawa and Howard Hawks with five; and Ingmar Bergman, Frank Capra, Charles Chaplin and John Ford all with four. Of more recent names, Steven Spielberg had six while Francis Ford Coppola and Quentin Tarantino had four each.
That breakdown is just as varied in 2021 but it's shifted notably newer. This year is balanced well between modern and classic directors, as epitomised by the three topping the list with seven films each: Kubrick, whose features date between 1953 and 1999; Martin Scorsese (1967-2019) and Christopher Nolan (1998-2020). Right behind them on six are Hitchcock, Kurosawa and Spielberg. Chaplin, Wilder and Tarantino are now on five, as is Hayao Miyazaki.
The Top Ten
The Top Ten has remained relatively unchanged for a long while, being the same ten films, if in slightly different orders, since 2013. This year marks a change, albeit a minor one. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, which has been at 11 for the prior seven years, displaces Fight Club, which had been at 10 for even longer.
In fact, the top twenty is almost unchanged since last year, the only other change being that The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers displaced The Empire Strikes Back at 14. Only one film in the top 46 moved more than two places, which is The Pianist, climbing four from 39 to 35.
The top ten is notably different from 2004, though. The Shawshank Redemption took the top spot from The Godfather somewhere in between 2004 and 2013. Only Schindler's List remains in the same spot, at 6. And four films dropped out of the list entirely: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is up one at 14, while Seven Samurai, Star Wars and Casablanca remain at 19, 25 and 49 respectively.
