So how do you fix these outliers? Dark Knight is still #1 and The Godfather is still #3.

My point is you don't. The system is still working fine. If Godfather sank to #300, then there would be something to fix. Even with all of the shenanigans of Dark Knight fans, the result on Godfather's rankings is a minuscule blip that could be explained by chance and should have no effect on whether someone thinks Godfather is a movie worth watching.
