UltimateMovieRankings (UMR) has been ranking movies since 2011. Movies are ranked by using a combination of box office grosses, reviews, and awards. So far we have ranked 36,000 movies, written over 8,500 pages, been viewed over 25 million times, won three website awards, and have received over 50,000 comments on our pages.
Our vital links: Site Index, Newest Pages & Request Hotline. The Trending Now Sidebar lists our most popular pages in the last 24 hours.
Our Site Index lets you see what movie subjects we have already written about. The index lists the movie subjects alphabetically. Subjects go from classic performers like Clark Gable and Charlie Chaplin to the stars of the 1960s like Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman to today’s most popular stars like Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and Chris Pratt.
We like ranking movies…and that is what this website is all about. And we are not talking about a Top Ten list…we are talking about ranking all the movies in somebody’s career from Best to Worst. The criteria used for the rankings is box office grosses, critic reviews, audience voting, and award recognition. Every day the amount of movies ranked by Ultimate Movie Rankings increases ….our tally is now over 25,000 movies. The number one ranked movie is The Godfather ….coming in last is Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas. Thankfully our pages have been well received. Recently we crossed the 15 million view mark and are now read in over 230 different countries.
How we got here.
Sometime in 2010, for the millionth time I was looking at Joel Hirschhorn’s book Rating The Movie Stars (1983) when I wondered had he updated his ratings lately? A quick internet check provided the sad news that Mr. Hirchhorn had passed away in 2005. About a month later, I thought I could update the ratings. I then came up with an idea to create a mathematical equation that would create a numerical score for each movie. The first thing I had to come up with were factors for the equation.
So I thought….if I were producing a movie, what would I like to see my movie accomplish. The first thing I would want would be for the movie to be successful at the box office. Secondly, I would like the critics and moviegoers to enjoy my movie. And finally, I would like my movie to receive award recognition through Golden Globe® and Oscar® ceremonies.
There are all kinds of ways to determine if you want to see or skip a movie. You can depend on your favorite critic. My favorites are the late great Roger Ebert and Leonard Maltin. You might go to Rotten Tomatoes to get the consensus of all the critics. You might watch the viewer ratings at Yahoo Movies and IMDB. You might depend on which movies are doing the best at the box office. You might wait for the end of the year awards.
Ultimate Movie Rankings (UMR) Score takes all of these options and creates a mathematical equation that generates a score from 1 to 100. The higher the score the better the movie. A “good ” movie score = 60 or above. So anything above 60 should be a good movie to check out. This gives a good comparison number between centuries and now my wife and I can argue over the merits of her favorite, The Sound of Music and one of my favorites, Pulp Fiction using the same scoring criteria.
So far, I’ve generated scores for 36,000+ movies. With these scores, I’ve written 1,000+ web pages with a focus on actors/actresses and similar groups (Star Trek vs Star Wars, Top 100 Sports Movies are examples).
So let’s look at the breakdown of the variables in the equation.
1. Box office results. Receives the second-highest percentage (30%) of the equation. The ceiling was 200 million in adjusted for inflation dollars. Any movie that crossed 200 million maxed out the points in the category.
2. Critics and audience reception. Receives the highest percentage (46%) of the equation. So where do I find critics/audience reception? I use many different sources: RottenTomatoes, IMDb, MetaCritic, Yahoo Movies, Roger Ebert, Leonard Maltin, and Fandango. Put them all together and I get an average with 100% being the highest score possible. Sadly with the passing of my all-time favorite critic, Roger Ebert, I needed a new source….after much research…..our latest movie critic and taking Mr. Ebert’s spot is YouTube movie reviewer Chris Stuckmann.
3. Award Recognition. The final part of the equation is worth 24%. A movie gets points for Golden Globe® and Oscar® nominations and wins. The Golden Globes get 5% while the Oscars® get 13% of the equation. The last 6% goes to the amount of Oscar® nominations and the amount of Oscar® wins.
One way to see how the scores are calculated:
Top 200 Box Office Hits with Inflation + Top 100 Best Reviewed Movies + 88 Best Picture Oscar Winners = Top 100 UMR Score Movies
In January of 2011, we published our first Ultimate Movie Ranking (UMR) Score table on HubPages.com…we picked one of our favorite actors, Bruce Willis, to be the guinea pig. We have updated his page countless times over the years.

The comments I used to introduce those stats disappeared. This is an old list from January 14, 2016 showing every Oscar nominated actor till that time and how many actors they had appeared with according to the Oracle of Bacon. They’re ranked from the highest at the time Eric Roberts who has 8000+ at the time (he has 10000 +) now down to the person who had the least. Obviously numerous people have acted with more people since and they also always dig up more credits on older actors. Just think of this as a time capsule of the time. No 2015 nominees are on the list.
Hey Dan….interesting triva information. Sorry your introduction comment went away. Massive massive list. Thanks for sharing it with UMR….you are the man!
Hi Bruce, whatever happened to Box Office Mojo? They sold out to IMDB pro and screwed up their easy to navigate website and screwed their readers too. Lots of complaints on their facebook page. I’ve noticed The Numbers.com posting links to their website there. I don’t blame them. What a mess, and what a shame.
https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficeMojo/
Hey Steve. I know that Box Office Mojo and IMDb have been under the same umbrella for awhile now….but this latest update certainly looks like IMDb is trying to push Mojo out of the picture. It took me a few attempts before I realized that Mojo had changed…at first I thought I was going to the wrong website. I actually have been using The Numbers more and more….and now when researching an actor or actress….I will just go there….versus paying to go to Mojo’s premium site. This change might even help us here at UMR a little bit. I bet….IMDb starts to limit the information to their database in the future as well. I agree with you 100%….”what a mess, and what a shame.”
I hate box office mojo too now, if you look at the older years things are in different places than they used to be and for example On golden pond moved from like 3 to 11 and some films are no longer even in the correct year. I love this website, thank you so much to the creator for your hard work it is really appreciated
Hey Jessica…..thanks for the awesome compliment….we are a mom and pop operation…..but over the years we feel have put up a pretty solid website. Our On Golden Pond webpage…https://www.ultimatemovierankings.com/on-golden-pond-1981/ shows all the places we have that movie ranked on our website. Once again…thank you …and thanks for stopping by.
This comment won’t go under Horror Movies. Robert Englund is not in Friday the 13th Part III.
Hey Dan….it looks like it did finally show up on the horror movie comment page….that Englund error has been fixed…thanks for the headsup on that.
Oscar nominated actor (Jackie Brown) Robert Forster and # 153 on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list has passed away at 78.
Hey Dan. Thanks for sharing the same news of Robert Forster’s passing. Very sad news. His latest movie was just opening in theaters yesterday. A very good actor….who actually starred in a movie with Marlon Brando. Rest in peace Mr. Robert Forster.
Interesting site I found after looking up the director of Hotel Monterey, a terrible 1 hour so called documentary on TCM. Lots of lists involved but only by directors and an ongoing top 1000 films updated every year but just adding new info to old. There is also a second thousand listed if you have seen the top 1000 as they say.

Hey Dan….good find…I was looking at this link last night. Looks like a pretty massive undertaking. Good see others getting there love for movies out there. Thanks for sharing the link.
