Ranked 2011 Film List

I attempted to keep two screening logs on this blog in 2010. The chronological list proved too daunting to keep up with, especially come the Cleveland International Film Festival, but I did manage to maintain the ranked film list. So this year I'm going to chuck the former and stick with the latter. It's probably more useful anyway.

Ranking of older films is more for informational purposes. It may or may not have any real apples-to-apples value.

Last year I experimented with the 100-point scale and liked it enough that I will stick with it. Letter grades will remain the official evaluations--it's what I use on the TV show--but I discovered that also using points allowed me to sort out the degree of my feelings about the films in question.

For what it's worth, 60 points equals the lowest total that still equates to a positive review.

A range=80-100, B range=60-79, C range=40-59, D range=20-39, F=0-19

Unrated means either that I felt I was too tired during the viewing (and may have dozed off) or that I did a sloppy job of record keeping and don't have a number available.
