"agree that it was compiled by an idiot"

Well as I wrote below it was "compiled" by an algorithm.

1. Filter the rotten tomatoes database of movies and keep the set of movies that have 40 or more critic reviews.

2. Rank the rotten tomatoes score for this database.

3. List the 30 movies with the highest scores in order.

Note that step 2 is also an algorithm, although with some human judgment. Each critic review is placed into a "positive" or "negative" category by a human. The numerical score is then easily calculated by an algorithm, based on these placements.
