boredAnd by the by, the formula used for "modscore" is as follows:
(v/(v+k))*X + (k/(v+k))*C where: X = average for the movie (mean) v = number of votes for the movie k = minimum votes required to be listed in the top 250 (currently 1250) C = the mean vote across the whole report (currently 6.90) -- IMDb ratings datafile
I'll try to '*' the ones that are the biggest disparities, just to draw attention to them

So my reference Horrible (6) movie made the bottom 50, but the only other one (American Wedding (2003)) is about halfway down the list (it was in the 100-150 range close to 150, there are 365 total)
