Thank you for the feedback! I think that what I like about 5 is that it raises awareness for me of some movies that I might not otherwise have been introduced to. I do take your point though, and when I do arrive at the final rankings, I can also publish a top 10 films removing the ones with under 10 ratings, to give an option for people who…[Read more]

Hi all, sorry for the delay on the first rankings! I had a busier week than expected but we had a great amount of participation so thank you to everyone! A particular shout out to Pacinofan who I noticed divided their first batch of rankings into movies that had already received grades and those who hadn’t. I appreciate all grades submitted in any…[Read more]

Always Be My Maybe – B-
Arctic – B
Ash is the Purest White – B+
Avengers: Endgame – B
Beanpole – A
Black Mirror: Bandersnatch – C
Blinded By…[Read more]

I would second the comments above, but also the scene at the end where he reads the letter with his son. That was such a great moment.

I think that if anyone is getting snubbed it’s Hanks, because this expression should be getting Hanks’d not Chalamet’d. Let’s just take a second to remember that he hasn’t been nominated since 2001, and that includes three Best Picture nominees where he was lead actor: The Post, Bridge of Spies, Captain Phillips. (I’ll exclude his relatively small…[Read more]

I think that to make up for the Beasts of No Nation snub a few years back, Idris Elba finally gets his due for his masterful work in Cats. This is the kind of surprise that we deserve.

2. The Favourite – 4.444 (31)

1. Minding the Gap – 4.8 (5)

And now we have the important one, the final top 10 ranking. It had some significant changes from past ones, and so I will start with honourable mentions, then do the 7th to 10th places. I will also mention that in the event of ties in scores, the number of votes are used as a tiebreak.

Honourable mentions:
Free Solo, You Were Never Really Here,…[Read more]

Hello everyone, and welcome to the final rankings! It was great to see all the participation and I think we have another very interesting top 10. Before we get to that though, as the tradition dictates, I present to you our bottom 10:

10. The Sisters Brothers – 2.55 (5)
9. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – 2.542 (11)
8. The Spy Who Dumped Me -…[Read more]

Casting should absolutely be a category. It would be treated essentially like an ensemble award, and would probably be as good a predictor for Best Picture as Editing.
