Re: The ten lowest-scoring actors

Somewhat interestingly, four of my bottom five actors with a minimum of five films have actually been in one film that I've really enjoyed, and then it's all red. 5. Jonathan Pryce (28.4) Enjoyed Brazil, hated the PotC series. 4. Seth Green (28.4) Had a role in Woody Allen's Radio Days, Austin Power...

Re: What proportion of your ranked movies are American?

949 out of 1564, or 60.7%. Like a few of the posters here, most of the non-American films I've seen are canonical classics, while a fair few of the American films are the schlock I watched when growing up. That said, my two favourite genres (film noir and westerns) are both significant parts of the ...

Add-on to new sponsor feature.

I love the look of the genre pie-chart and was wondering if something similar to it but for countries rather than genres could be produced. It was only by a random filtering of my rankings that I realised I'd seen more French productions than British ones, and a whole chart full of statistics like t...

Certified Copy 6. Four Lions 7. The Ghost Writer 8. Black Swan 9. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past ...

Re: My Top 10 TCIs

#1 anime salve Your TCI: 0.9523 How is it even possible to have a TCI of less than 1.0? I must be misunderstanding how it is calculated.
