Peeple's Poll top 30 movies of 2019

As you would expect, the breakdown of the post-movie rating for movies forms a nice-looking bell curve.

The average beforemovie vote is 70.4 and aftermovie is 75.8.

Here's a few interesting data points from the Peeple's Poll.

• Us, written and directed by Jordan Peele, had the misfortune of being the highest rated movie that didn't meet expectations. It got a respectable 79.6 post-movie rating, but the expectation before the movie was 81.5 — a difference of -1.9. I think Jordan Peele should take it as a compliment that people have such high expectations for his movies.
• The Beach Bum, starring Matthew McConaughey, is the lowest rated movie in 2019. Not only did it have a horrible expectation of only 57.4, but it even failed to meet that by getting a 49.0 post-movie vote — down 8.4 from expectations.
• Captain Marvel had a very respectable 78.9 before-movie vote and a 84.6 after-movie vote (+5.7). That's not particularly noteworthy, unless you look at Captain Marvel's score at IMDb.com (6.9) and RottenTomatoes.com's  user score (49%). What's up with that?

Do Peeple who use the RunPee app just like Marvel movies more that average? Probably not. There was a concerted effort by a few men's groups to suppress the audience score at both sites because Brie Larson (who plays Captain Marvel) is outspoken about women's rights. It's impractical to rig the scoring in the Peeple's Poll because a user can only vote once, and they must spend a Peecoin just to vote. So there's a barrier to submitting a vote. That's by design, because I'd rather have quality votes rather than quantity.

• It's not just about how good a movie is, but sometimes how much better a movie is than expected. If you really wanted to be surprised by a movie this year, then I hope you saw Run the Race. It scored a whopping 14.9 points above expectation.

With that in mind, here's a breakdown of the movies that beat expectation by double-digits this past year.

Note: Yes, I know that 9.9 is less than 10, but I loved Yesterday and wanted to include it since it was almost there.

All things considered, it's hard to overlook just how excellent Ford vs Ferrari was. Overall it was the second highest rated movie, going by post-movie vote, but also scored 10.2 points better than expectation.

That said, Avengers: Endgame had an expectation vote that was higher  — by far — than any other movie had post-movie vote. It's kind of hard to improve on such grand expectations, yet it did.

Of course, a lot of movies didn't meet expectations. Here's the complete list:
