The Big List 2: The Legend of Curly's Gold

Well, I promised back in June that I would update my 'big list' of all the films I've reviewed, and I'm not not a man who breaks his promises (except to my parole officer - I hate that guy). Here they all are, in order of preference.

What fascinating facts can we glean from this experience? Well, I suppose once again, not many films have gained that elusive '10 out of 10' mark that all the top Hollywood directors speak about as being the holy grail of filmmaking. I just feel that in order to get that perfect score, a film really has to be something special - so while I'm happy to give out a 9/10 if a film's really good, I need to regard a film as an instant classic to merit dishing out top marks.

Similarly, I didn't savage too many films - 85% of the movies I saw got a passing grade of 6/10 or higher. What can I say, I'm just a big softy at heart. When I'm not posting these blogs I spend most of my time nursing sick puppies back to health and reading stories to the elderly and frail.
