The point of top-k rankings is to put items in the proper order. As far as the crowds are concerned, this is no failure. Sorry your favorite movie lost its spot.

It is fine for "FanBoys" to push Dark Knight into number one. But downvoting Godfather to put your movie into the #1 spot is plainly wrong.

But the Godfather people did it first. Look at the spread of points on The Dark Knight. Look at the 1s. Those came first.
