TVI Canon ratification is a two-step process. Directors enter the candidate pool via the published rubric (mean TVI Score across their full scored filmography). Ratification requires individual sign-off against the canon-selection criteria locked at methodology v1.2: durability of impact, breadth of corpus, multi-decade cultural register, and rubric-tier consistency. The Canon is not a popularity ranking. It is the credibility surface naming whose filmographies the methodology stakes its catalog on.
Every film below was scored against the same three-dimensional rubric (Cognitive Stimulation 40 percent, Educational Value 35 percent, Craft and Quality 25 percent). Score citations are public on every title page. The methodology is independent of any studio, distributor, or platform.
