User:Samuel Wiki/Popular films

This is a personal list. It list serves as an alternative to the WikiProject Films list of Core films and popular pages list. As with those lists, the purpose of this list is to suggest film articles for editors to work on. While the Core list is based on critical reception and the Popular pages list is based on page views, this list is based on popularity with the general audience. This list is based on the number of votes on the Internet Movie Database. The top 120 films are listed here. All films have at least 120,000 votes. The rationale is that the number of votes (ie. the number of people that voted) would somewhat reflect the number of people that view the film's Wikipedia article. Some of them may not be the greatest or most important films, but they are all films that have been seen by a very large number of people. Hence, they all deserve good articles.

In terms of this list, the articles which need the most work are those which are below GA class (ie. Start, C and B class). In my opinion, priority should be given to them and in particular those which are also Core articles and those with the highest number of votes.
