I solved our office movie poll chaos by posting a critic rating board in the break room.

Critic scores can really kill the fun though. Plenty of awful superhero movies have fresh ratings, while dumb comedies everyone loves get panned. Putting up a score board just makes people pick the "right" movie instead of the one they actually want to watch. It turns a fun group vote into homework. Our last poll died because someone kept arguing that the high-rated choice was objectively better, even though it was a boring drama.

Turns group choice into peer pressure.
