Ranking the films I watch

This is something of an experiment. I started it in September 2018.

I attempt to assign each film I watch a score 0-100. These correspond to the star ratings I had already been giving them, a 10 point range for each half-star rating. For example, 50-59 corresponds to 3 stars, with 53-56 representing a confident 3 stars, 57-59 representing a leaning toward 3.5 and 50-52 representing a leaning toward 2.5

I then rank the films according to those scores, making judgments within ties. And see how everything falls. Sometimes I decide I mis-scored something based on its ranking. I do not edit the score. I will make a note if I think the score was probably too high or too…
