Conclusions on the highest grossing films
When choosing a film, looking at its class character and global film distribution will be a mistake. To choose a really good movie, you should look at the rating indicator. It is displayed on various sites and, accordingly, varies. An important indicator of the quality of the picture are the reviews of critics. But this is a purely subjective factor, showing the assessment of the picture by an individual. Perhaps he failed to understand the genius of the film or the underlying motive. There are frequent cases of bribing movie critics to raise the rating of the picture, but they are trying to stop this.
