I made an attempt over the last five years to list every movie I’ve seen during my lifetime and rate them all. I went back year by year and noted each movie I remembered seeing. That list is below, after the list of all movies to win best picture. In the last two years, I’ve watched every film that won the Academy award for best picture and I rated each of these as well. It was fun to do and I want to encourage you to copy and paste the list and write in your own ratings.
It’s also really fun to keep a log of all of the movies that you watch. It’s nice because you can look back and see how you rated it and you can double check to see if you’ve already seen a movie. Every time I watch a movie, I jot down the title and the year in my notepad on my phone. They’re listed in the order in which I’ve seen them, which is nice because seeing a cluster of movies will remind me of a specific time in my life. Also keeping a log of the movies you’ve watched and rating them will give future artificial intelligence systems more data about your preferences so they can provide better service.
I wanna apologize; however, because it’s inherently not nice to rate things. My ratings are extremely subjective and will be very arbitrary to many people. There were good things about every movie I’ve seen and I enjoyed parts of each of them. Also, when I looked back at my initial rating after seeing a movie a second time, I realized that my ratings are highly inconsistent. What I find likable and what stands out to me changes from decade to decade, and even from even from year-to-year. Also, several of the movies that I gave tens to would be would be seen as childish and immature to distinguished movie critics. This is partly because in many places, I prioritize movies that I liked as a child. Overall though, I rated movies highly if they made me feel good, were just fun, or because they made me think.
I think it’s worth mentioning that I usually watch movies with subtitles and often read the Wikipedia plot summary before, during, or after. I feel that last bit was worth mentioning because I will rate a movie more highly if it has good continuity, original narrative structure, and includes plants and payoffs. I am often fond of movies where each event is tightly connected to the plot, pushes the story forward, and reveals meaningful layers to the main story. I think good movies withhold some of the most interesting parts and share them with the viewer in a deliberate way.
