The ranking was compiled using a simple system which awards 50 points to a film coming in at number one on any of the source lists, 49 points for the number two film, and so on, down to 1 point for the number 50 ranked film. In the event of two or more films finishing on the same number of points, the first tie-breaker is the number of lists the film appeared on, and the second tie-breaker is the highest position attained by each film.
NB: Darren chose to rank the Lord of the Rings trilogy as one film. Therefore, I gave each one of the films the appropriate number of points for that position.
On with the list, in reverse order.
