Welcome to Top10ner, your ultimate destination for handpicked lists featuring the most acclaimed, must-see, and ground-breaking movies, TV shows, and music ever.

Well it’s actually more of a “me” than a “we,” as I am currently running this website completely solo and doing so purely as a hobby. For what its worth, my name is JK, and I’m currently based in Australia. Thanks so much for stopping by!
What began as a simple Top 100 list to discover more remarkable films has turned into a full-fledged passion—a quest to find and share the very best in entertainment for anyone who stumbles across this site.
NOTE: You’ll see a lot of “we/us/our” in my writing as opposed to “me/I/my”, which just feels right to me. Hopefully, it doesn’t cause any confusion or come across as insincere.
At Top10ner, our mission is simple: To provide entertainment enthusiasts with meticulously crafted lists that bring them the very best in cinema, television, and (eventually) music. We understand that navigating the vast landscape of popular media available today can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to streamline the process and present you with carefully curated selections that guarantee an unforgettable viewing and listening experience.
Behind every Top10ner list lies a meticulous ranking algorithm that ensures the utmost accuracy and relevance. Drawing from a diverse range of sources, including mainstream aggregators, niche platforms, and weighted systems, our algorithm considers multiple factors to determine the placement of each entry.
We take ratings from all over the internet, weigh & average out the numbers fairly, sprinkle some magic dust on it for clarity and voilà, each entity accumulates their own value/score for ranking purposes. From IMDb and Letterboxd to MUBI and TSPDT?, we leave no stone unturned in our quest to provide you with the finest entertainment recommendations.
See our list of sources we use for film lists below:
Just so you know, when we roll up to these websites, we aren’t just taking the standard “8.2/10” or “72% fresh” ratings. We are taking EVERYTHING. Any piece of data that may indicate what someones opinion on a film is. No matter how small, or how ‘insignificant’. Every voice is heard here. (Except for yours Matt. You and your opinion can go and get fucked.)
Each rating (throughout the entire system) is carefully weighted against the number of votes received, ensuring that films with higher engagement are appropriately measured. Additionally, scores are balanced against each other to prevent any single website or metric from dominating the rankings, ensuring balance and accuracy in our lists.
Our algorithm is designed to provide users with comprehensive and balanced rankings that reflect the diverse landscape of cinema while accounting for both mainstream and niche perspectives.
While we strive to be transparent, there’s a fine line between sharing our process and protecting our secret sauce. So, while we’ll do our best to explain, some parts of our algorithm may remain a bit mysterious. But hey, where’s the fun in revealing all the tricks?
So, dive in, explore OUR LISTS, and let the journey through the cinematic universe begin! If you have questions or just want to chat about films, we’re here for it.
Lights, camera, algorithm—let’s roll!
