Generally speaking, if I think a film has a very big flaw, then I'd be unlikely to give it a high or even average rating.

For example, I think Raiders of the Lost Ark is xenophobic. I'd probably...

So how do you rate your movies? Is it based on how much you enjoyed the film, or how much you got out of it. Or do you look at it without taking those things into consideration?

Re: Movie Tab II

In my Blu-ray collection (about 300 films), I have 39 films I'd give http://www.movieforums.com/images/popcorn/5box.gif to.

Although there are many I don't own I'd give that rating to.

Re: Movie Tab II

Thanks for clarifying (on Mon Oncle), Mark.

Have you seen any of Tati's other films?

I know you're a lot harsher than me with ratings, so where does that leave Bresson with you? Average, or above average? If average is even the word.

Re: Movie Tab II

Random thought: Jacques Tati is quickly becoming my favourite director.

Playtime, Mon Oncle, M. Hulot's Holiday and Jour de Fete have all been amazing.
