To compile the list of the top 251 movies of all time I settled on using the top 100 lists from seven different websites. While it took a lot of effort to find, combine, rank, and sort seven lists worth of movies, doing so gave me more thorough results that were not biased by the opinion of just one source.
Below is a comparison of the seven top 100 lists by average year and by average grade given to the movies in each top 100 list. For a long time the lists from Empire.com, FlickChart.com, and particularly AFI.com had very low average grades and my running joke was that if I watched a bad movie, likely it was in the top 251 because of those three top 100 lists. The list from FilmCrave.com had an excellent average grade almost from the start and I usually looked forward to watching movies from that list.
| Top 100 List | Average Grade | Average Year |
| FilmCrave.com | 3.682 out of 5 | 1989 |
| Ranker.com | 3.586 out of 5 | 1985 |
| Lifed.com | 3.505 out of 5 | 1981 |
| IMDB.com | 3.48 out of 5 | 1980 |
| FlickChart.com | 3.17 out of 5 | 1970 |
| Empire.com | 3.07 out of 5 | 1976 |
| AFI.com (2007 list) | 2.915 out of 5 | 1963 |
