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 = average
-30 to -49 = poor
-50 and below = very poor

Example

The Pink Panther Strikes Again B12 P37 = -25(avg)

Tally

Excellent (10pts each) = 2
Good (5pts each) = 5
Average (0pts each) = 2
Poor (-5pts each) = 2
Very poor (-10pts each) = 2
Pop top 20 bonus (5pts each) = 6

I think :
79 10 B10 P10
is a typo? Shouldn't that be:
79 Being There B10 P10
I certainly don't remember Sellers in 10 😀

[–] Redsfan001 (6217) 3 years ago

Thanks forgot to add Being There.

He was in the movie 10, but it's been so long I don't remember his part.

[–] Redsfan001 (6217) 3 years ago

He did a cameo as a jazz drummer it was cut out.

I'll delete the movie from the list thanks.

[–] huwdj (4571) 3 years ago

Interesting - and I saw something somewhere recently with Peter Sellers on drums but didn't realise the connection.

It's a weird movie I enjoy for some reason.
