As discussed in 'All Time Best movies' topic, movie rating formula can be anything but commonly accepted. An example is given here.

Every single movie can be rated on scale of 100 points. These points can be distributed among the most important factors like :

1] Direction - It's very important as it is the process which directs most of the things from casting to lights, script to technical effects, art to action. Bad direction can fail great acting and story.

2] Cinematography - This process is responsible for the smooth flow of the script, acting, scenes and every other things which viewer can see in movie. It consists of camera, light and photography. Even great acting, direction and script or story look awkward without a nice Cinematography.

3] Script and Story - What a useless acting and direction if the script is not good.

4] Background Score or Music - It is the most important factor which boost up direction, cinematography, script and acting. It is the one which produces any type of feeling or understanding of emotion, action, art and the theme of the story.

5] Acting - Great movies can be made without good actors or even without actors. But present scenario tells that most of the movies of today need actors. And acting of these actors make people understand the theme of the movie better or produce emotions in heart. Emotions in the form of smile, sorrow, anger etc.

Other important factors :

1] Dialog - It makes the theme of movie clear and understandable. It makes people either to think or enjoy.

2] Editing - After everything, editing is done to make movie look perfect. And also to smoothen the flow of script.

Other factors are Art, action, Light, Technical Effects etc.

This is just an example. Any such widely and commonly accepted formula can be formed.

General :

Obviously the above movies are great. But there might be at least one movie which is not present in the above list but in your personal list of best movies.

In actual, every person of the world has different and unique taste, different way of thinking and looking into any matter. Some choices can match but not all. So there should be a theory, idea, criteria or formula to rate the movies. This criteria or formula should be result of discussion on understanding of movies among groups of people. It can be anything, but commonly accepted.
