This table includes movies I think have a higher than average quality in either plot, main themes and overall cinematography. I’ll keep inserting recent movies at the top of the table, and older movies at the end of the table.

The ratings go from \(3\) to \(10\) (so, eight different basic rates). Movies with \(6\) are just below average, while movies with \(7\) are just above average. A rating of \(5\) means a bad movie, while \(8\) is a good movie. A rating of \(4\) is a very bad movie, while a \(9\) is a great movie. There a just a few \(3\) which are horrible movies, and a few \(10\) which are perfect movies (imho).

Starting from rate \(7\) I include quarter scores (like, \(7.25\) or \(8.75\)) to distinguish and compare a bit better between movies. For me, a \(9.5\) rating is already a masterpiece.

The next table shows 3081 movies with ratings 7+, it represents 57.3% of all movies I’ve seen and is, obviously, quite subjective :-)

All 5379 rated movies are displayed at the end of this page.

Number of Selected Movies per Year

Showing movies with a minimal rating of 8 (blue) and the rest (orange). The list of movies from 1960-2023 is (somewhat) complete. My next goal is to move into the 1950s.

There are hundreds still to see from the 1920s to the 1950s, and these are the respective wish-lists:

There’s also some movies I was unable to find.

Let’s check directors with multiple movies in the list,

Directors with movies with a rating of at least 8.5,

And, finally, who made the masterpieces (≥9.5),

The next table sums, for each director, the scores of each film rated here. A film ranked 7 gets 1 point, 7.25 gets 2 points, upto a score 10 that gets 13 points. For the Imdb score, films with score less or equal to 6.5 get negative points.

The next table show these scores per decade and director.
