Film Freak - 685 Films Ranked
Member Since: Oct 12, 2007
Bio: A 50/100 is an average movie based on my scoring. Fortunately, I tend to watch good or great movies, so my tiers are a bit messed up!

100 - Platinum
90 - Gold
80 - Silver
70 - Good
60 - Decent
50 - Average
40 - Poor
20 - Very Bad
10 - Atrocious
00 - Malignant

There are two components I consider before arriving at a film's score.

1. Genre - A children's movie will be ranked with other children's movies in mind.

2. Overall appeal - how enjoyable the film is ignoring its genre.

Thus, it is possible for a film at the height of its genre to score in the 70 range if I outright hate that genre. While I try to score films with their genres in mind -- it is silly to compare Seven Samurai with Dumb and Dumber -- the final score will lean heavily to my personal enjoyment.

70 T4 Indie Game: The Movie (2012) - Dec 20, 2012
"I am a bit disappointed how disgusting and maladjusted most of these people are. Jonathan Blow is about the only one who appears to bathe regularly. "
75 T6 Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) - Nov 15, 2012
"The score was often out of place and repetitive. I've heard these Philip Glass pieces and Bach's Suite no.1 Prelude. in many other films. "
70 T4 The Smashing Machine (2002) - Nov 04, 2012
65 T3 Prime Suspect (1991) - Aug 31, 2012
"Prime Suspect tackles some interesting issues, particularly a woman's role in a male-dominated profession, the balance between work and relationships, and the corruption within institutions, but does so without subtlety. Mirren is mostly great, let down only by the script on occasions, and the rest of the acting is decent. The final confrontation is ridiculous and anticlimatic. "
70 T4 7 Plus Seven (1970) - Aug 28, 2012
60 T3 Seven Up! (1964) - Aug 28, 2012
"Cute kids blabbering on. It's more interesting to look back on after viewing the subsequent films, but it's a bit boring the first time you experience it. "
