There must be problem with your dataset then. Not enough people? Everyone in this field knows that Napoleon Dynamite is the most controversial, ever.
> 1. Birdman

I knew that abomination was polarizing, but i did not quite expect that.

Abomination? That was oone of my favorite movies of all time!
;)

It's an emotion vs intellect thing. Birdman is like cocaine to people who like the emotional side, and like hydrochloric acid for people who want a movie to be rational.

I'm just surprise the numbers even bear that out like that.
