I've only seen 5 2022 films so far.

1. Elvis (9.25/10)
2. Downton Abbey; A New Era (8.5/10)
3. The Banshees of Inisherin (8/10)
4. See How They Run (7.75/10)
5. Everything Everywhere All at Once (4/10)

Passing grade is 8.

Passing grade is 8.

So if an 8/10 or higher is a passing grade, then a 7/10 or lower is a fail. That seems like a lot of the 10 point scale devoted to failure.

Personally I use the 10 point scale akin to the traditional letter grading system, so a 10 or a 9 is an A+ or A-, 8 or 7 is B+ and B-, 6 or 5 C+ and C-, 4 or 3, D+ and D-, and 2 or 1 as F+ and F-.

Therefore, for me, anything with a 7/10 or higher is recommended, and earns a "Like" on Letterboxd, while a 6/10 is passable but unexceptional, and a 5/10 is either run-of-the-mill with some sort of annoyance that knocks it down a peg, or is of a type that doesn't interest me, but I think fans of that genre/sub-genre might. Then everything that's a 4/10 or lower is descending levels of bad. 1/10 has to be exceptionally bad, almost legendary in its awfulness.

I know this is movie-nerd talk that holds little interest for most, but I find it interesting the way different people grade/rate movies.

I know my rating system is a bit "off". I guess I took it at the time from the way the star review system one sees in movie books works, how a 4 star review is a perfect 10, then a 3, would be like a 7.5 which would round up to 8. That's how I started, and I guess its too late to correct now, although there are certainly some films I feel the need to downgrade slightly at they simply don't hold up as much in the memory.

Your system works much better, and I know I have used your Letterboxd ratings as a guide for which films to try before.

While we have disagreed mightily on several that you have rated poorly, I haven't seen one that you've rated highly that I didn't find to have at least some good quality.

RT, do better... Scene?

Reminds me of the directive from the old Sloane Ranger Handbook, which went something like this:

One should be scene and not herd.
