I searched the Internet for lists of the best Billy Connolly 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 14 lists of either his roles or his movies. I took the 14 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 14) were:
- The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) – 12 lists
- A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) – 12 lists
- The Boondock Saints (1999) – 12 lists
- Muppet Treasure Island (1996) – 12 lists
- Brave (2012) – 11 lists
- What We Did on Our Holiday (2014) – 11 lists
- Mrs. Brown (1997) – 11 lists
- Quartet (2012) – 11 lists
