This list contains of my classic movie reviews sorted by the numerical rating I've provided for each film.
Not all reviews are included on this page as this feature only became available to me in June 2014 (though I've tried to retroactively rate some of my older reviews). Each movie is rated on a scale of 1-100. How do I rate them? Basically, by gut. The same rating is used that I give on IMDb, only over here it's in increments of 5 (rather than 10) points.
My rating is displayed on this page as the number following each linked article title below. Articles are sorted from highest rating to lowest rating.
