flip wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 7:50 pm when it comes to ranking our favourite directors, looking at our average rating per director is really measuring which directors we think were most consistently good. that might be the best measure, but you could look at it another way: the directors we like best might be those who made several great films, even if they also made a few duds. those directors wouldn't do so well just looking at average rating (assuming scfzers had seen the duds, since those duds would drag the director's average rating down). so i wonder what the top directors list would look like if we used a low minimum, like 25 ratings (that produced the most interesting list to me), but only took the average rating of each director's five highest-rated films.

it also might be interesting to look at two measures of variance:

- if we could, for each director, compute the standard deviation of scfzers' average rating for that director, we could work out which directors are most 'controversial', i.e. which are loved by some and detested by others. e.g. if there were five scfzers, and their average ratings for hitchcock films were 4.0, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0 and 4.0, hitchcock would have a std deviation of zero, and hitch wouldn't be controversial at all. if jean rollin had five averages of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0, he'd have a standard deviation of √2 ~ 1.4, which would be very high for a five point rating scale.

- if we could, for each director, compute the standard deviation of each sczfer's ratings, and then average those standard deviations, we could work out which directors had the most controversial output overall, i.e. which directors were most inconsistent (had films we think are great but also films we think are terrible). e.g. if there were five scfzers, and looking at their ratings of hitchcock, if the first person's ratings of hitch films had a std deviation of 0.2, the second had a std deviation of 0.1, and so on, we could average those std deviations. we'd then get a measure of how much variance there is in scfzer ratings of hitchcock films, and we could compare hitch with other directors using that measure.

those might not be easy to code though! if you might want to try and if i can help at all (i'm sure you're familiar with the math but if not, i can help with that) let me know.

I've never been in a real fight, but I would be willing to schedule a fist fight to defend Delphine in this case. DM me Flabrezu

• scfz ranks Oscar winners: rank best motion picture winners by average rating
• same as above, for a couple of shitty popular lists (imdb 250, afi...)
• one movie per year (highest ranking)
