  1. 1.

    Schindler's List (1993)

     
    I always rate films based on how much I like (or don't like) the film in question. The film's overall user rating on IMDb doesn't affect me.
  2. 2.

    Lifeboat (1944)

     
    I have sometimes voted to affect its rating on IMDb.
  3. 3.

    Horse Feathers (1932)

     
    I usually (or always) vote based on whether I think the film's overall user rating on IMDb is too low or too high.
