Like I said, multiple viewings, time and distance can improve films in many cases for me. That B+ is more like 4/5 which is a more regular rating scale, which I'd say = Great.<br /><br />I'm not even sure if the grade or rating hold much importance -- I feel that a review can serve a much bigger purpose -- to bring out discussion-worthy elements in a film. I often find reading reviews <i>after</i> watching the film to see if the reviewer was able to give me a fresh insight, or if the mood of the film was captured well in the review (which I must say, your review captured perfectly in this case). <br /><br />The grading can be ignored, really, since it's all so subjective -- the bottom line is that I really dug the movie. I would definitely want to re-visit it sooner rather than later :)Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647511701225586270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405080951197044980.post-37058323228029590662010-03-22T18:25:58.353+05:302010-03-22T18:25:58.353+05:30By god you are very strict on yourself yaar! And o...By god you are very strict on yourself yaar! And on the movies you watch! What use are top ratings if you award them posthumously only? Ratings should also be awarded (if at all) at a nascent moment immediately when you are done with a film. Without thinking more about it. Without worrying much about it. How was the first time experience for you? I mean if you view your writing as an advertisement to pull more people into watching the film (I write ONLY for that motive), that is essentially what it must be.<br /><br />But of course, that being my view. I like your rating, and your list! <br /><br />More comments there!Dr. Gonzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593056958061152496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405080951197044980.post-57737165336740335022010-03-22T17:51:32.694+05:302010-03-22T17:51:32.694+05:30@Dr. Gonzo: I re-watch many movies and usually the...@Dr. Gonzo: I re-watch many movies and usually the grades for films I love tend to improve (I'm already leaning towards an A- for <i>LSD</i> as it keeps improving in my head). I need to see it again!<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of the A+ grade (it should be reserved for classics and awarded many years down the line!), A is usually the highest for me -- <a href="http://morethanfilms.blogspot.com/2010/02/multiplex-decade-best-of-bollywood-2000.html" rel="nofollow">here are some films</a> that I loved in the last decade. Most of these are B+ (the honorable mentions), and A- or A films (the top ten), IMO.Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647511701225586270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405080951197044980.post-77540711523852738762010-03-22T15:53:31.221+05:302010-03-22T15:53:31.221+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Dr. Gonzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593056958061152496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405080951197044980.post-87559676786502300842010-03-22T15:29:55.763+05:302010-03-22T15:29:55.763+05:30@Anonymous
