A note on the rating scale: It's a scale from 1 to 10; 5 means it was
about equivalent to spending an equal amount of time doing nothing in particular;
below 5 means it was a waste of time, and should be avoided. 7 is enjoyable;
8 or higher is certainly recommended. I have yet to give a ten, though
such personal favorites as The Great Escape
rate in the 9.5 area. Yes, I give tenths of points.
Also, the dates are the date that the movie in question was added
to this list, not the date upon which I saw it. They start in 1998.
Also, at the interval denoted with an asterisk, republic.org lost
several web pages, including this one, to the malevolent influence of
hackers; thus the entries subsequent to the asterisk were all
reconstructed on the same date.
