* Satan's Boardroom was unavailable. Weight redistributed proportionally across available sources.
Bonus awarded for strong agreement across multiple buckets.
Scores above 90 ease toward 100 instead of clipping flat, so a film that's genuinely better still ranks higher. Nothing reaches a perfect 100.
