ChatGPT was asked to compile a list of the 10 best movies of all time. Are The Godfather, Forrest Gump, and Star Wars on your bucket list?
What are the best movies of all time is an eternal topic of conversation. Here in the columns of PORT.hu, we have already created a number of top lists, but it is by no means an easy task to determine exactly which films are the best of the best, since everyone has a subjective and personal opinion. If we try to bring the hard facts into the equation, the picture becomes somewhat nuanced. For example, we can see which are the highest-grossing films of all time, or which have received the highest scores from critics and the public (PORT.hu, for example, has a TOP100 film list, which ranks the great classics based on the ratings of our readers). Another useful metric is to compare which films have collected the most prestigious awards. However, these types of statistics do not tell the whole story and do not take into account all cultural and social factors.
A Looperon the other hand, they toyed with the idea of what if we could hand over the right of ranking to someone whose decision is based on pure logic and is not emotionally biased towards any film?

Here is the final result:
