It is clear that this method I used, while designed to examine each film critically, does not give an entirely accurate picture of my personal favourites (though the top 5 at least are pretty spot on).
I scored the films out of 10 in nine categories: plot, characters, themes, script, acting, mood, visual, audio and re-watchability. I weighted each section to give a final score out of 200, and the results of the 26 films scored so far are below. However this is not exactly a rank of my personal favourites, but rather an attempt to objectively decide what I think are the best films I have seen. Obviously I have seen more than 26 films, so there may be films I have not scored yet that will enter this top 26.
Rank | Film | Score |
1 | The Lord Of The Rings | 197 |
2 | Gladiator | 176 |
3 | The Matrix | 170 |
4 | The Green Mile | 167 |
5 | Stardust | 166 |
6 | Shrek | 161 |
7 | Shrek 2 | 159 |
8 | Fight Club | 158 |
9 | Minority Report | 158 |
10 | The Man In The Iron Mask | 157 |
11 | Good Will Hunting | 157 |
12 | The Shawshank Redemption | 156 |
13 | A Beautiful Mind | 155 |
14 | Chariots of Fire | 154 |
15 | Notting Hill | 152 |
16 | Moulin Rouge | 148 |
17 | Cool Runnings | 147 |
18 | Equilibrium | 145 |
19 | Forrest Gump | 143 |
20 | Usual Suspects | 143 |
21 | X-men trilogy | 142 |
22 | Monsters Inc | 139 |
23 | The Rock | 138 |
24 | Toy Story 2 | 137 |
25 | Finding Nemo | 134 |
26 | Toy Story | 129 |
Clearly I am quite a harsh marker. Only 7 films got over 80%. According to the star rating, thats only 7 5-star films. Luckily I think the star system is a sham and don't use it. But I don't deny I am hard to please when it comes to films. They're all measured against a ludicrously high benchmark (see film #1!).
For now this system will suffice, but I don't really like marking out of 10 because I often get split between two numbers. So sometime I'll probably redo it scoring each category out of 20. Good times.
