Since I've been rating these movies all along, it shouldn't be that hard to now determine which were the best and the worst movies.  The movies with 1 star are the worst, and the movies with 10 stars are the best.
(Actually it's not that simple, because my ratings aren't 100% accurate, but just quick off the cuff impressions.  Upon reflection, I probably would change any number of these ratings.  However, that flaw in my system being admitted, I'm not going to open that can of worms now and start re-evaluating everything.  For the sake of simplicity, I'll just let the ratings stand as they are.)
