Livio Biogrio and others who work as doctoral researchers (postdoctoral researchers) of computer science at Torino University in Italy analyzed 47,000 movies that are posted on the online database " IMDb " of movies and TV programs, and "History The most influential movie on the top "has been derived. Mr. Bioglio calculated the influence score of the movie based on "how much reference was made to the later movies" for each movie. As a result, it is clear that the top 20 movies of influential movies were all produced before the 1980s, most of them were movies produced in the United States.

Mr. Bioglio, the first author of the research paper, said, "We are replacing the scale that is affected by" the factor beyond the quality of the movie itself "such as advertisement, distribution, film criticism, Method for analyzing the degree of success. "Using our algorithm developed using the criterion" how much reference was made to other movies as a measure of success ", I got the top score scored From experience such as participating in the movie, we will be able to evaluate the careers of the film director and actor more precisely than ever "and said that the evaluation of movies, directors, actors by a different approach from box office income We have drafted "the most influential movie in history" as a way to do it.

In the algorithm developed in the research, we use the centrality index which is one of the indexes frequently used in network analysis. According to Bioglio, each movie is handled as a node of the network, and the influence score is calculated from "the number of connections each movie has for other movies" and "how influential the film of the movie is connected". Research has ranked and ranked 20,000 film directors involved in each movie and carriers of about 400,000 actors from the score of international movies of 47,000.

Bioglio says, "The idea of ​​using network analysis to rank movies is not entirely new, but it is the first time to rank people engaged in movie production using this technology." . The algorithm developed by Bioglio and others can also be used for research by artists and film historians. However, it is necessary to note that the IMDb data used in the study is biased towards movies produced in Western countries.
