Top 10 🎥 underrated movies you can watch.

Just did this analysis on IMDB dataset with minimum 1000 votes.

Look at the column underrated_rating. It is: % of people voting 10 or 9 / % of people voting 8 or 7.

How many have you seen from the list? I've seen none! Image
The topmost one is an indie movie that has won many awards.

imdb.com/title/tt673574…
Then there is this horror movie with an interesting plot

Two assassins-for-hire have an hour to kill before their next hit. To help pass the time, they entertain themselves by sharing horror stories to one another.

imdb.com/title/tt473022…
Then there's this Filipino historical drama on the church of christ! Who knew?

Apparently, it's won a lot of awards too.

imdb.com/title/tt504653…
Next up is Transcendents, which is a "musical mystery" genre movie. Never heard of this genre before.

The current rating on IMDB is 9.2 and has won many awards. So must be nice.

imdb.com/title/tt598063…
The next movie is a comedy and has an estimated budget of $5000 and apparently from reviews seems like a "so-bad-that-its-good" movie.

imdb.com/title/tt801800…
With an average rating of 2.1/10, the next one seems to the one that either people REALLY love or REALLY hate.

There's no in-between for this kids/family movie imdb.com/title/tt152049…
The only Indian movie in my top 10 list: Suryam.

imdb.com/title/tt092513…
A Kosovan mystery movie with a current rating of 9.1!

imdb.com/title/tt646332…
Biography of Turkey's current president Erdogan

imdb.com/title/tt598837…
To see the entire top 1000 list of this sort, check out this Google Sheet:

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Yes, you can thank me for helping discover many "hidden gems" :)
Added a column of "universally loved movies"

(# of votes with 10 or 9) / (# of votes with 1 or 2)

Top 30 universally loved movies. Now there are many familiar names in this list. Image

Recently, I read this beautiful #book, named Life as No One Knows It, by @Sara_Imari and had a minor revelation that maybe we’ve been looking at life from a completely wrong lens.

My notes 👇 Image
1/ It’s always hard to define life. Everyone has their favorite definition – some describe it as a struggle against entropy, while others describe it as an emergent property of chemicals.

Countless books have been written on the topic, yet we’re far from a consensus.
2/ Against the backdrop of the second law of thermodynamics, life seems like an improbable accident.

When everything tends to go towards disorder, how come life is able to create cities, computers and space ships?

How do we reconcile all the beautiful complexity we see around us with the stupidly simple laws we observe in physics?

Don't compete.

🧵
1/ The Internet is full of people winning all the time. Someone is traveling to exotic locations, someone else is raising funds, and another person is winning awards.
2/ Essentially, everyone around you is succeeding while you do spend your days as the nature intended – sleeping, eating, smiling, chatting with friends, and spending time with your cat.

Slides from the projects done during Batch 3 of @lossfunk residency.

🧵 Image
1/ Naveen Arulselvan talked about

Can Robots Learn to Drive

His linkedin: linkedin.com/in/naveen-arul… Image
2/ Sibesh Kar @sibeshkar talked about how we build tiny programs in our head when we're thinking.

He explained how general intelligence should require something akin to program search (which I fully believe in)

He also blew my mind with reference to Panini's attempt at synthesizing Sanskrit grammar into its core essence
