In the grand scheme of things 5s are still pretty rare from me, but I average 2 or 3 a year I think. Lots of years with none but the 50s and 60s are loaded with perfect and near-perfect films IMO. On top of that I also let enjoyment play into my ratings, so that's why I've got a few (probably not all that many) films that I might get called crazy for rating perfectly, but hey I'm no critic. |
I definitely do give out 5 Stars, but out of 1950 films tracked on Letterboxd I have 25 5/5s. Nothing wrong with giving a film 5/5 either. Especially Susperia, I've plenty of 5s for that film. _________________ Check out some of my other interest on my own review site. Scum N' Villainy

I've given 289 5 star ratings in total, out of 5,897 films. Here's the full breakdown by decade:
20s - 17
30s - 15
40s - 29
50s - 43
60s - 59
70s - 39
80s - 30
90s - 19
00s - 17
10s - 21
In regards to some "questionable" ratings, these are the only ones at first glance that I wouldn't expect pretty much everyone to give a minimum of 3.5-4 stars to.
Sweet Sweetback's Badass Song
Pink Floyd The Wall
Blood for Dracula
At Close Range
Cannibal Holocaust
Antichrist
Nymphomaniac Vol 1 & 2

That's still only 4% of your total films watched which is still a very small amount. How many movies do you watch a day? Just out of curiosity. You have a massive total of films for a relatively young man. I've averaged a movie a day for a few years now, but I've yet to hit 2000 _________________ Check out some of my other interest on my own review site. Scum N' Villainy

That's not all that many I don't think. I just calculated 5897 divided by 30.5 years and that's about 193 movies a year. Roughly one movie every two days of my life. Of course if you calculate all the re-watches I surely have watched at least one a day.
-As a child, we used to rent at least 3, sometimes 5 movies every weekend. During the summer often we would rent for three days and when we return them rent another three to five. Plus any time there was a horror movie on TV I would watch it.
-As a teenager I was known to most people as "that movie guy". By the time I was 18 I owned over 500 DVDs. I also watched a ridiculous amount of Turner Classic movies.
-As a young adult I really got into Netflix, and then Hulu, whilst continuing to build my collection.
These last three or four years have been a little more tumultuous so I watch what I can, when I can. Sometimes I buy it, sometimes I stream it, sometimes I rent it from Redbox. But yeah a lot more downtime these last few years.

I suppose maybe I just didn't become a film fan until after you did. I really didn't start to catch on to movies until I was like 17. Prior to that I was probably only watching 15 a year. Sometimes I'll watch that many in a week now. I've still only had 7 years of watching movies on a consistent basis. _________________ Check out some of my other interest on my own review site.

I don't have parents that are huge film fans either. Only casual. A lot of people are movie fans because their parents were. _________________ Check out some of my other interest on my own review site. Scum N' Villainy

The movies my parents got me into were pretty mainstream, simple films from the 80s and 90s with a few exceptions. I discovered the internet at age 12 and used it to learn about movies. It's still my main tool to this day, as I don't personally know a single person in real life who knows a fraction of what I know.

me and my dad had a game after my parents divorce in '99 where we would pick 3 movies each at random from any aisle at blockbuster -- so a lot of my experiences outside of cable tv was from that kind of stuff. we ended up watching trashy b-movies and old hollywood staples. it was wild.

The only 10 (or 5/5) I've given a film in recent memory was 1966's Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? after I watched it for the first time in late 2018. I didn't feel any of 2017 or 2018's releases were ultimately worthy of a perfect score. Blade Runner 2049 came the closest.
