Here’s how my ratings work:

100: An all-time personal favorite; the stuff dreams are made of.
99-90: Just this side of paradise, but still a masterpiece.
89-80: Not quite a masterpiece, but certainly top ten worthy.
79-70: Perhaps not top ten worthy, but a very good film nonetheless.
69-65: A significantly flawed film with just enough redeeming qualities
to recommend it.
64: This is a special category for films with a roughly equal amount
of merits and flaws, films that rate neither thumbs up nor
thumbs down, but rather thumbs across.
63-50: A film whose flaws clearly outweigh its merits.
49-40: A pretty bad movie, but not without redeeming qualities.
39-30: A negligible film with few redeeming qualities.
29-10: A film within hailing distance of Plan 9 From Outer Space.
9-0: Execrable junk, worthy of the infamous Golden Turkey award.

Key:

Any film title bracketed with /slashes/ indicates that I had previously seen it.
