Don't bother checking the spelling mistakes in each film's description. Some texts could be improved, but it is funnier with spelling mistakes.
Note: I based those texts on my experience listening to a ton of YouTube cinema critics. A good amount of these films are great, some are even in my Top 100. But, the discourse about them is often exhausted. People (not to name any examples) repeat the same cliché over and over again, this is what my poll is criticizing.
The point of the poll is also to explore IMDb's "referenced in" section, the criticism of trash cinema YouTubers came later in my poll-making process when I realized what kind of films were the most referenced. I was interested in seeing which films were the most mentioned. I'm not surprised to see Star Wars tops the list, but I didn't expect The Wizard of Oz to be so high. I'm also disappointed by the absence of Fincher, Carpenter, and Scorsese. I think the poll would have been better with them on the list.

@cinephile ,
This is an interesting concept for a poll. It is a different perspective of a poll I created a long time ago:
Influential Films
Researchers at Northwestern University analyzed connections data on IMDb and found these 35 films had the greatest influence on future filmmakers. ...
The researchers at Northwestern University came up with a similar list to the one you have for your poll.
It will be interesting to see the results of your poll versus the results for my poll.

I wouldn't dream of correcting the grammar of the quoted text. Clearly you quote these reviews verbatim, including misspelling and grammar errors.
However, you have two minor typos in your introduction:
Please add the missing period.

You spell YouTube correctly the first time you use it. Please correct the spelling here:
You can see which films get the most cited in Youtube videos.
