An 'N/A' rating

[DavidJohnson]

I'd like to have the ability to mark a movie as watched, but not give it a rating. Some movies are hard to give ratings to like stand-up comedies or documentaries. There also some other movies (lynch) that I need to rewatch before giving a rating, but I'd like to mark is as watched. I was thinking about just giving them all a 0 or something, but that would skew my recommendations probably. So an 'N/A' or a 'None' rating would be nice.

That's an interesting suggestion... these films would then clearly not be used to calculate TCIs, but I can see how such a thing would be useful -- either because you don't want to rank them, or haven't decided yet.

We've written it down for the future.

[DavidJohnson]

Thanks for the consideration.

Till this feature is added you can create a private/hidden collection to collect the movies you want to mark as watched.

There are some movies which I want to write a mini-review for, but do not want to rank. Currently, I don't think this is possible. Adding this feature will enable this.

If you know enough about the movie so as to write a review, why would you not want to rank it? Or is it that you haven't seen the movie? If that's the case, you shouldn't be writing a review for it.

No. These are for movies I have seen but don't want to rank.
I mainly use criticker to get recos for English movies. So I rank mostly only English movies.

Reviews only make sense if there is a corresponding ranking for it. So say you are praising a movie, but hasn't put down a ranking, we don't know if was a 100 or 90 or 80 according to you...same thing if you are trashing a movie. In any case, with collections and filters, you can make sure that no non-English movies show up in your recommendations.

I like this idea.

I guess I wasn't very clear. My taste in English movies are rather different from my taste in other language movies. So
I don't want my non-English rankings to skew my TCIs & PSIs. That can't be avoided by filters or recommendations.

Use 2 different Criticker accounts.

This thread reminded me that I wanted to suggest something like this. There are films I recall seeing but don't remember well enough to apply a fair rating. I guess the collection feature is a good work-around for now.

Yeah, I would definitely use this. Especially for all the films I watched as a child that I remember, but not well enough to rank.
