A BRIEF WORD ABOUT THE RATINGS: For some reason, certain folks seem to take philosophical objection to the very idea of rating films on a 100-point scale. Near as I can make out, they seem to be under the impression that assigning a number to a movie ("slapping...on" is the construction they favor, actually) means summarily dismissing it, and they see the whole business as antithetical to the poetry and mystery and wonder that the medium, at its best, ought to inspire.

These people should chill. It's just a lark. The ratings/rankings are fairly arbitrary, although it's safe to say that as an indicator of my enthusiasm they're accurate within a range of +/- 3 (e.g., a movie allotted a 52 surely falls somewhere within 55-49). It's not a scientific or mathematical process, and I have no illusion that I've "solved" the film or reduced it to its meritorious essence or whatever. The greater the number, the more I dug it. Simple as that.
