It is time to talk about my ratings on movies appeared in this doghouse. Most of you would notice my movies watching list of each month. I included my ratings to make it more referable and interesting. The rating is based on the scale from 1 to 10 and saved in the IMDb (Internet Movie Database). Yes, I have used this tool to record the seen films and collected videos for over three years approximately.
Though it would be personal for rating movies while everyone should has his/her own standard. To me, I tried to adopt a "pseudo-scientific" method to include my personal preference and also the historical importance, despite the quality of the work itself. So, in other words, a higher graded movie means its greatness to me.
For example, Max Ophüls' "Madame de..." (1953) is certainly one of the best movies I have never seen. But I could not give a full mark because it did not get a weighty status in the film history yet. Similarly, the cinematic masterpiece "The Black Stallion" (1979) is only graded a 8 without any recognized significance, even it is one of my favorites in the 70s. Anyway, just a sharing and note to my watched movies lists, please do not treat it seriously.
