A League of Their Own
Scored from 295 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 1990s (4,082 peers).
Summary
During World War II, with male baseball players off at war, a candy magnate launches the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Star catcher Dottie Hinson and her hot-headed pitcher sister Kit join the Rockford Peaches under cynical, washed-up manager Jimmy Dugan, who must sober up and learn to coach women as the team fights for respect and a championship.
A League of Their Own is a 1992 comedy, drama and sport film. Inside comedy it is classed as Dramedy.
The calibrated figure is built from 295 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 314 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s films, not against the whole corpus.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where A League of Their Own lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1990s (4,082 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 295.
