Liked most in the Spanish-speaking world (28), least in the international pool (37) — a spread of 9 places.

Rank within each region, and the region's own z-score below it. These six are not a world panel: they are the six platforms that cover at least 30 of the canonical 38 films, which is why France is here and Germany, Korea, India and Brazil are not. How the regions were chosen.
