Above is a list of all my movie reviews sorted by ranking.   (I started using a rating system from December 2013.  Any movie reviews from before then are not on a rating system).

I should make the disclaimer that this rating system is just based on my off-the-cuff feelings immediately after viewing.
As such, it is doubly flawed.
First of all, it is flawed in the way that all subjective rating systems are flawed--it represents the limitations of my own mind more than it does the objective merits or demerits of the movie.
Secondly, even within the limitations of my own mind, it is further flawed in the sense that none of us understand our feelings.  Often I'll feel like I liked or didn't like a movie, without truly understanding why.  Or I might have a vague feeling about a movie, but a difficulty assigning a specific number to that feeling.  Some days I might be inclined to be generous, and other days inclined to be harsh, and so the rating could depend more on my mood for that day than the movie itself.
Also opinions change over time.  Some movies I had one reaction to immediately after watching it, and another reaction to it after I contemplated it over time.  (Prometheus, for example, is a movie I decided I was too generous to.)  These ratings represent my initial impression immediately after viewing, and not necessarily my final judgement.

So for all those reasons, treat this list with caution.  Nevertheless, for whatever it may or may not be worth, here are my movie rankings.
