1957 was the best-ever year for movies (and other surprising insights from IMDb)

Big data can answer a lot of big debates … like which episode of “Seinfeld” was the funniest. (Columbia TriStar Television Photo/Reuters)



Want to know which episode of “Seinfeld” was the greatest? Curious which year produced the best films? At one point in time, these types of esoteric queries fell firmly in the realm of bar debates and bickering critics. But thanks to IMDb — that massive compendium of cinematic trivia and ratings — we can at last quantify things like, say, the best move made in 1985. (Spoiler alert: It’s “Back to the Future.”)

This brilliant and vindicating insight comes courtesy Reddit, where “monoglot,” an enterprising user in the /r/movies forum, parsed tens of thousands of movie reviews to assemble a list of the movies that got the most perfect reviews for every year between 1894 and the present. (More on the methodology here.) Using a similar data set, monoglot was also able to calculate the “best” years for movies, as determined by the average IMDb score of that year’s most popular films. The winners were 1957, 1994, 1995, 1975 and 2001, in that order.

The highest-rated movies, in this case, aren’t always the most-acclaimed ones. Both “Lord of the Rings” and “Star Wars” score an unlikely hat trick. “The Intouchables,” a feel-good French flick about a quadriplegic that most Americans probably never saw, wins top place for 2011. Here’s the full list:

2013: Gravity

1894: Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze

This isn’t the only interesting project to pull from IMDb data in recent weeks.GraphTV — a visualization tool by the software engineer Kevin Wu — charts the ratings of TV shows over different seasons. “Star Trek” mostly got better. “The Simpsons” mostly got worse.

And what about “Seinfeld,” you ask? It’s a tie between “The Contest” (season 4, episode 11) and “The Soup” Nazi (season 7, episode 6). Although, per the IMDb hive mind, all nine seasons are pretty hilarious.
