The Internet's 100 best-rated Film Productions of 2021

Hi. I like statistics. Personal opinions are fantastic, but it always gives a nice overview about "what's happening" across the world with lists like these. So, I added up IMDb and mubi ratings (for the hype page and the snob page to be a bit mean :b) in order to get some better results. And yes, I know the title, but here you go, get TV shows too (though not as thoroughly researched outside of English languaged TV). :)

DISCLAIMERS: Given how new those films are, their ratings will change, and this is not meant as a final list but as a nice overview to share and discuss.

(Films in CAPSLOCK only have ratings on IMDb, films in CAPSLOCK have only ratings on IMDb and rated above 8.0 so that I removed 1 point. Indian films with only ratings on IMDb lower than 8.0 are in CAPSLOCK and lose 0.5 points. I started doing this for diversity's sake, because otherwise there'd be overwhelmingly many Indian films in the top 10 as people of the respective countries seem to have a different rating habit (comparable to the high discrepancy of MCU films between IMDb and mubi, No Way Home this year 8.9 / 6.8). If you feel like that's stupid, feel free to feel so, I marked them so that you can know what the actual ratings were. +1 for THOSE +0.5 for THOSE.

Interestingly, this year, there's also one non-Indian film affected by it: Emergency Declaration with the fantastic Song Kang-ho and Lee Byung-hun, so you might want to bookmark that one. Which by no means means that the Indian ones aren't worth a watch, mind you!

I have also excluded anime films that are spin-offs or sequels to big shows such as the (undoubtedly genius) Gintama finale and the Violet Evergarden movie as they are a special case.)

Enjoy!

Best TV shows/seasons, determined like so: [mubi+(IMDb average+ratinggraph season average)/2]/2 Doesn't matter if just the final or first episode was released in 2021. I do that since in later seasons, usually most people who didn't like it already stopped watching. This seems to be a bit better for the stats. If it's only one season, I didn't add the average episodes.
