Goldfinger
Scored from 500 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 1960s (1,929 peers).
Summary
Guy Hamilton's third James Bond film puts Sean Connery's 007 on the trail of Auric Goldfinger, a bullion dealer whose gold keeps surfacing outside Britain. After exposing his card cheating in Miami and out-cheating him on a golf course in Kent, Bond follows Goldfinger's gold-bodied Rolls-Royce across Europe to a Swiss plant, then wakes as his prisoner on a Kentucky stud farm beside the US Bullion Depository at Fort Knox. There he learns the outline of Operation Grand Slam and sets about turning Goldfinger's private pilot, Pussy Galore. Enforcement falls to the silent manservant Oddjob and his steel-brimmed bowler hat; Bond's issued equipment includes the Aston Martin DB5.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 5,765 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 500 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 513 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. 1,928 other films from the 1960s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 Goldfinger 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 · 1960s (1,929 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 500.
