‘For example, if you did it purely by Tomatometer, a movie that got ten reviews in 1960 but got 100% would beat a movie like Moonlight, which got 98% but which got hundreds of reviews, so we have to do some sort of accounting for that difference.’ ‘The Adjusted Tomatometer is a kind of inflationary equation that accounts for the average number of reviews for a film in a given year, so we can compare movies across different decades. Joel Meares, the Editor-in-Chief of Rotten Tomatoes, explained this in simpler terms for GSN. ‘The final list was culled from a longlist of hundreds, after which the films were ranked according to the Adjusted Tomatometer, which acts as a kind of inflation adjustment, taking into consideration the Tomatometer score, as well as the number of reviews a film received relative to the average number of reviews for films released that same year.’

This is drawn from a collection of movie reviews, and is adjusted depending on whether a movie got a wide or limited release. To get on to the list, movies had to score a high Tomatometer score. The website revealed the list for Pride Month in the United States. Reviews aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes has drawn up a list of its 200 most highly-ranked LGBT movies.
