There are many ways to find worthwhile movies to watch on Netflix. You could turn to the platform's top 10 most-watched ranking, or maybe check out the “what’s new” section. However, one method I personally default to when I need to find my next on the big red streaming service is looking for picks that score highly on the persistently popular film database, IMDb.
Getting a high ranking on IMDb is actually a pretty tough challenge. IMDb ratings are crowd-sourced by users, and popular movies typically have hundreds of thousands of individual ratings. These are then averaged out for an overall rating out of 10. This makes scoring high difficult. After all, there will always be a broad range of opinions that impact the score.
