How to approach it
Treat this as a breadth exercise rather than a test of memory. Build a long candidate list by walking through decades and regions in turn — silent era, mid-century art cinema, national new waves, contemporary documentary, animation, concert recordings — and jot down one or two titles at each stop. Then verify each one individually: open the title page, read the rating, and check the vote total against the threshold before writing it down. Rank the survivors by how unlikely they are to appear on anyone else's list. A celebrated title that a hundred other players will also submit is worth very little; a genuinely well-regarded but seldom-mentioned one is worth a lot. Submit the strangest entry that still clears both bars.
Get a hint
Begin with the widest possible spread rather than one favourite era: festival winners, national cinemas, animation studios, documentary makers and live concert releases all sit somewhere in the qualifying band.
A little more
Once the obvious canon runs dry, turn to the margins — long-form documentaries, animation from small studios, older one-off specials and regional dramas — where far fewer players think to look.
One step further
Before committing, open the title's own page and read two numbers side by side: the rating and the vote total. A dazzling mark resting on a few hundred votes fails, while a solid mid-eight carried by several thousand passes comfortably.

Why these answers count
The reveal has an unmistakable shape: nearly the whole slate sits at 85 points, with one entry at 100 and a shorter tail at 60. That tells you the qualifying set is enormous — thousands of titles clear both bars — so crowding, not obscurity, decides your score. The 60-point band caught the household names, the first titles anybody reaches for. The 85-point mass was made of films that exist, rate highly and are still hardly ever volunteered: regional dramas, old festive specials, long documentaries, concert films. A lone entry took the 100, which is what a genuinely singular submission looks like, and the rest of the top band reads like a tour of the world's neglected corners — A Separation, 42 Up, 8½ and 20 Days in Mariupol all landed at 85 beside far more obscure picks. Fame alone did not guarantee a weak score, but being well liked mattered far less than being half forgotten.
