In today’s piece of Fact-O-Meter, we’ll be discussing the list of all-time highest-rated films. While we expected the maverick filmmaker Christopher Nolan to make his strong presence felt with cults like The Dark Knight, The Lord Of The Rings maker Peter Jackson took us by surprise.
Here, we are talking about the list obtained from IMDb, where the ratings are based on the votes of people. As a final cut, we selected only the top 15 films. The number one spot is held by The Shawshank Redemption, while The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers seals the 15th position.
Director Peter Jackson has the most number of films on the list i.e. three. Below him are Christopher Nolan and Francis Ford Coppola with two films each.
