10 out of 10 movies


After reading through how people rate movies in this thread: http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000002/thread/264659076, there seems to be a great difference in how they vote. For me a 10/10 is next to impossible for a movie to achieve, it must have great actors and chemestry between them, there can't be any (major) logical errors or misses and the story has to really capture me.
I've yet to find a 10/10 and the one that comes closest is the goodfather 1 and 2. So how do you define 10/10 and what movies have you given it (if any).

If I love a movie and can rewatch them it usually an 8 or 9 for me.

to me it's like this in very basic terms...

6/10 or higher = Thumbs Up (will re-watch these, especially 7's and higher)
5/10 or lower = Thumbs Down (won't re-watch these(with rare exception))

i can't get any simpler than that ;)

with that said 5's are usually decent enough to have seen once but ultimately not a movie ill see again and movies i won't re-watch cannot be a positive score at the end of the day.

so depending on how you feel about that... we could be noticeably different here as to me a 8 is a pretty high score to just to START re-watch level. i would figure re-watch level for you would be AT LEAST down to a 7/10 minimum if not a bit lower.

i figure since there is a 1 through 10 rating scale it's best to make proper use of it which basically means using 5/10 as middle-of-the-road/average and then it scales up and down fairly evenly from there. but i will say my really low scores are not as tuned as my higher scores but it's not worth nit picking on the lower end scores given after they fall below a certain point they are just crap, plain and simple.

To get a 10 it would realy have to connect to to me on a personal level.

i have a feeling your similar to myself in that movies ultimately come back to some sorta emotional response you get from them which determines the overall enjoyment of a movie and then we rate them accordingly ;)

It's not that much thinking, it's just the general feel of the movie and how much I enjoyed it.

i am exactly the same as rating movies any other way makes no sense. 

when i describe my ratings it might sound all complex but it's really as simple as you describe it at the end of the day.

I base my ratings on a combination of how well made the film is and how much I enjoy it. A 10/10 would be an all time favourite. I've rated 140 films a 10/10.

I agree that a 10/10 rating should be almost unattainable, which is why I've only given it to one single solitary movie:

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)!
