FAQ

The Full Adventure List: Questions & Answers

How the 2,075 ranked adventure films on this list are ordered, why the other 9,802 are not ranked and how to narrow the list down.

How is the full list of adventure movies ranked?

Best first. Ranked by Echo Score; 1,314 of these 2,075 films have none (released before 2017, when Echo Scores start) and are ranked by a blend of their Metascore and IMDb/Letterboxd user ratings. North by Northwest (1959) is #1, ahead of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018). A film is ranked when it runs at least an hour and has a score, box office, an award nomination or enough votes.

The adventure ranking

Why are only 2,075 of the 11,877 adventure films ranked?

A film is ranked when it runs at least an hour and has a score, box office, an award nomination or enough votes; shorts, films with too few ratings and re-release records stay off the ranking, which leaves 9,802 adventure films unranked. They are still on the site: sort the list by newest, oldest or title A–Z to reach them.

How do I filter adventure movies by decade or language?

Use the filters above the list: a decade or year, an original language, or only films with a plot summary, the ending explained or an after-credits scene; the sort switches between rating, release date, box office, budget and title. The 2010s have the most ranked adventure films (633), then the 2020s (508). Outside English, Japanese (1,166 films) and French (448 films) have the most adventure films.
