The crowd and the clock
What the public makes of it
A room full of filmmakers might be expected to reach past the consensus
favourites. IMDb's rating is that consensus here, and TMDB fills in
the films IMDb does not cover: never both for the same film, one
source per film, named alongside every number below.
1705 of 1736 films carry a rating from either
(1692 from IMDb,
13 falling back to TMDB), fewer
than the 1727 that matched a TMDB entry at
all.

Does a higher rating mean more picks
Each band's mean is over the films in it, and the last column says how
many of those ratings are IMDb's and how many fell back to TMDB.
A guest mean is over that guest's own rated pick rows, at least
5 of them, and the last column says which
source each of those ratings came from.
IMDb is the primary rating, TMDB the fallback for whatever it lacks: never averaged together for the same film, one source per film, named in rating_source. IMDb needs at least 100 votes and TMDB at least 10, over the 1705 collection films that carry a rating from either: 1692 from IMDb and 13 falling back to TMDB. The picked mean is taken over pick rows rather than films, a different population and a different mix: 2923 from IMDb and 22 falling back to TMDB over 2945 rated pick rows. Box sets are excluded: they have no rating of their own.
Hours on the shelf
What it would take to watch everything a guest reached for, box sets
included. Runtimes are TMDB's, so they describe TMDB's cut rather than Criterion's edition. Box sets count as the films inside them. A television series' own total runtime is not tracked (TMDB gives one representative episode length, not a total, and episodes are not uniform), so a visit that reaches one is excluded from ranking rather than published with a guessed total. A visit is ranked only when at least 80% of what it reached has a runtime, it reached at least 4 films, and it did not reach a series, which excludes 31 of 414. The hours counted across the whole run are a floor rather than a total: they cover all 414 visits, but only the runtimes on record, and 39 visits reached something without one. Every visit's own total is published beside these rankings, with the coverage that qualifies it, so the page about one visit can say "at least" where that coverage is short. The median is taken over the visits with every runtime on record, rather than over the ranked ones, because a ranked visit's total is allowed to be a floor and a median of floors is a floor as well.
Longest films reached for
TMDB coverage for runtimes: 1715 of
1736 films (99%).
A match is not a runtime, so this counts the films that have one, not the
1727 that matched.
383 of 414 visits are ranked;
31 are left out, because
0 have runtimes for too
little of what they reached,
2 chose too few films to
compare, and
29 reached a television
series, whose own total runtime TMDB does not give.
