CEVR Part 2

So here it is, finally - after an extended break, I've finally gotten my act together, crunched the numbers, and figured out what the #1 movie of all time is according to CEVR (Critical and Entertainment Value Rating).

My grandparents' generation's seminal entertainer was Elvis, my parents' was Jackson (the Beatles being the age group in between). And I suddenly had a startling thought - who is ours? And, more interestingly - do we even have one?
