"Favoritestness" is calculated by adjusting the number of IMDb high ratings for each film by a factor derived from all films of its half-decade. Here are the Marvel films ordered by that metric.

This is simply a list of the movies listed in Wikipedia as having been set in Philadelphia, which necessarily includes many films not shot there (e.g., The Philadelphia Story) and doesn't include many films shot there but set elsewhere e.g., Limitless). These are ranked according to their "favoritestness," my quasigrammatical term of art for the number of IMDb high ratings (8+) for a film, adjusted by the overall viewership of other movies from the same half-decade. By this metric, older movies generally do better than new stuff, and mediocre but massive hits (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) may well do better than little-seen gems (1776). This dataset includes only opening-day numbers for Creed; I expect it to fly up the list in time.

This is an alternative to the standard IMDb Top 250 list, using the same IMDb rating data (via the weekly FTP data files) in a different way.
I've taken the number of high IMDb votes (ratings 8–10) for each film, and multiplied by a factor based on the number of "typical" votes for movies from the half-decade of that film's release. This tends to weight older films more based on the fewer votes being cast for their movie peers, and serves to highlight movies that are disproportionately watched and loved from their era.
The result is a list of 250 populist greats (the era-adjusted most favorite films according to IMDb voters, or what I'm calling the "favoritest") that stand out in viewership and esteem among titles from the same time period.
