Are Movies Getting Better Or Worse?

November 4th 2009 01:27
The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) contains an incredibly large collection of movies and all things related to them, this includes ratings out of 10 given to each film based on the perceived quality by viewers.
Nathaniel Johnston thought an interesting experiment for his blog would be to look at the average rating of movies released from 1950 to today to see if the general public believe that movie quality is improving or not.
There are of course a few criteria each film must meet, such as being theatrically released (not straight to TV) and at least 1000 votes recorded. The IMBD has over 10,000 movies that meet these criteria.

Movie ratings through time


The graph shows the highest scores are for older movies, followed by recent releases, and then films from the late 70s to 80s fared the worst.
Is this purely because movies of yesteryear were of superior quality and the 80s is a decade we really want to forget, or is the more to it?
One explanation could be that people only watch and review old movies if they are truly worth watching, many films from the 50s and 60s wouldn't have 1000 votes.
For the more recent films, the ratings can be inflated by excitement at the time of release. IE when the Dark Knight came out it received an almost perfect 10 average, this has since dropped down to below 9 and may move lower with time.

So there you have it, and interesting chart thanks to Nathaniel, read the full article here.
