The Top 250 Movies of all Time

The best movies of all time, as according to IMDb's user ratings

Top 250 Movies of all Time (as according to IMDb's overall user ratings)

This list is based on IMDb's user ratings, as IMDb is the most authoritative movie sourcing website on the internet, and having been an avid user of the website it has become ever-so clear that more than often the users' overall rating tends to be the right one.

It is difficult to collect a list of the greatest movies of all time, as we all have our preferences when it comes to our favourite genres, our favourite actors, our favourite directors, and our favourite film studios. This is why it is a thing of beauty to have a fair way of determining which the greatest movies of all time are, that of course being by using IMDb's overall user rating scores to determine the rankings.

So without further ado, here's the best movies of all time (as according to IMDB's user scores).
