It is natural for popular rankings to be higher due to the influx of art house, international and straight to video releases.

Scoring b-p

10+ = excellent
9 to -9 = good
-10 to -29 = avg
-30 to -49 = poor
-50 and below = very poor

Example

Moonstruck B5 P20 = -15(avg)

Tally

Excellent (10pts each) = 16
Good (5pts each) = 5
Average (0pts each) = 7
Poor (-5pts each) = 7
Very poor (-10pts each) = 10
Pop top 20 bonus (5pts each) = 7
