The rankings are based on each film\u2019s adjusted Tomatometer, which takes Tomatometer score, audience reviews, year of release and more into account.<\/p>\n Documentaries were also included in the ranking.<\/p>\n The number 212 was chosen because it was the first area code assigned to New York City by AT&T in the 1940s.<\/p>\n Things To Do Around NYC <\/a><\/p>\n Over 200 movies can be a bit
