If you go by ticket sales, the most popular film of all time is Gone With the Wind. (GONE WITH THE WIND CLIP: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.") That is adjusting for inflation, by the way.
But a movie's take at the box office is influenced by ad budgets, distribution, reviews—so box office may not be the best measure of a movie's cultural influence. To address that question, researchers gave movies the big data treatment—by analyzing the complex network of connections between 47,000 movies on the Internet Movie Database, IMDb.
The popular movie site tracks every time a film has been referenced or spoofed, featured or remade: all factors that indicate a movie's influence on subsequent films. And by analyzing those connections with a handful of algorithms—including Google's PageRank algorithm—the data scientists came up with a new number one: it's another 1939 flick by the same director of Gone With the Wind which has been spoofed more than 300 times, and referenced by nearly 3000 movies:

The Wizard of Oz. (WIZARD OF OZ CLIP: "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.") Dorothy’s adventure was followed by the original Star Wars, the original Psycho, King Kong, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The full ranking is in the journal Applied Network Science.
The analysis does have limitations: It favors older films, and the underlying IMDb data has been shown to be biased towards Western movies. That is, the products of western civilization, not shoot-em-ups.
As for Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara? They still made the list, but down at number 19. (GONE WITH THE WIND CLIP: "After all, tomorrow is another day!")

这里是科学美国人——60秒科学FgqDv6WMt^。我是克里斯托弗·因塔利亚塔rwpgHfSmRROb!pUl.j
如果从票房情况来看,那史上最受欢迎的电影是《乱世佳人》JtmjP|_yL7;Z。(《乱世佳人》片段:“坦白说,亲爱的,我一点儿也不在乎4ho7Y_36m*Kq3HaK。”)顺便说一下,这一结果扣除了通货膨胀因素7A#4W-=zj-jxv
但电影票房还会受到广告预算、发行和评论的影响,因此票房也许不是衡量电影文化影响力的最佳标准~XD*N2nY+vGs。为了解决这个问题,研究人员对电影进行了大数据处理,他们分析了互联网电影数据库IMDb上4.7万部电影之间的复杂网络关系y@7EmKh_^+lLoz
这个备受欢迎的电影网站对一部电影被提及、恶搞、精选或重拍的次数进行了追踪,这些因素均能表明一部电影对之后电影产生的影响XXA7oqP)mfdD2WW,K。利用包括谷歌“网页排名”算法在内的少数算法分析电影之间的联系后,数据科学家选出了新的电影冠军:这部电影与《乱世佳人》一样在1939年上映,而且与《乱世佳人》为同一个导演,目前已被模仿过300余次、提及近3000次:
该电影就是《绿野仙踪》fCJNU]1JEPLPMOtpH。(《绿野仙踪》片段:托托,我感觉我们已经不在堪萨斯了bxbh^f+tqQIwl。)排在《绿野仙踪》之后的,分别是原版《星球大战》、原版《惊魂记》、《金刚》以及《2001太空漫游》》uN2Wx~DoN&@9&RZPI。完整排名发表在《应用网络科学》期刊上+lHMrcE[JgdyjuF
这种分析确实存在一定的局限性:分析方法有利于老电影,而且IMDb的隐含数据显现出对西部电影的偏好=V!13i-8(9oJ。也就是说,这一结果是西方文明而不是枪战片的产物k-Ha~pR9qp|j8X%H3q
那白瑞德和斯嘉丽(《乱世佳人》男女主人公)的排名呢?他们仍在榜单上,不过排名跌至19位do%WOUT.eRf3L|R。(《乱世佳人》片段:“无论如何,明天又是全新的一天!”)
