Combined with how often its looked up?

The Top 250 list is generated completely on user rankings. The frequency of look up doesn't play into it.

If you go to an individual movie, down towards the bottom is a MOVIEmeter rating that is a measure of how frequently people are looking into that title relative to previous activity.
