[OC] Top 10 films / Top 10 Outsiders / Bottom 10 films (based on IMDb ratings)

The criteria used are purely arbitrary. There is no objective way to sorts films based on this two criteria anyway.

In particular, the slope of the boundary lines (i.e. -0.5/decade for top lines and +3/decade for bottom) is arbitrary. I simply chose slopes that seemed to fit the “horn shape” made by the points on the graphic.

Fun fact: an anaptation of the Ramayana is found in both the “top 10 outsiders” and the “bottom 10 films”

what’s going on in the bottom left? it’s so much less dense

I think it be nice to see this as a heat map too. I am sure there are lots of overlap in those deep black sections.
