I searched the Internet for lists of the best Angela Bassett movies of all time. Criteria included the movies being ranked, not just listed by date or alphabetically, and generally created by groups, whether teams or committees or based on general public voting (like Ranker.com).

I was able to find 20 lists. I took the 20 lists and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of every film. I ended up averaging the rankings each movie got and dividing that average by a factor of the number of lists that movie was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.

The movies that were on the most lists (out of 20) were:

  • What’s Love Got to Do with It (1993) – all 20 lists
  • Malcolm X (1992) – 19 lists
  • Waiting to Exhale (1995) – 17 lists
  • Boyz n the Hood (1991) – 16 lists
  • Akeelah and the Bee (2006) – 16 lists
  • How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998) – 15 lists

Here are links to the lists I used along with dates the lists were created:
