According to my current best analysis of the NetFlix Prize data set, the following are the movies for which the most surprising models of viewer ratings can be justified. Viewer ratings for these movies are non-random in an unusual way.

9. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure

8. Punch-Drunk Love

7. Spaceballs

6. Zoolander

5. Napoleon Dynamite

4. Rushmore

3. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

2. The Royal Tenenbaums

1. Wet Hot American Summer

This list will be updated as my method of analysis improves.
