Sorted list: Films with "intelligent grades" between 7.2 and 7.4 (robustness between 1.5 and 2.0)

Very basic hints on how to use this list

• Probably the most important feature is the links to “the most helpful” reviews of the film (click on the film’s title to jump there);
• The list is ordered w.r.t. the “demanding viewer”’s grade GR; the better it is, the higher is the expectation of the “film’s worthyness”.

One may also want to know

• Colored grades GR are less statistically reliable than non-colored. More color means less reliability.
• Most entries of the table (and all icons) have mouse popups with more details/explanations.
• The headers of the table also have mouse popups. They explain what is in the column.
• Thumbnails of movie poster’s (on the left) are clickable (moreover, a click on the large version brings the whole poster — if available)
• To buy/view via IMDB, click on the title; on the IMDB page, use the links on the left.

What is this list?

What is the grade GR?

These “delicate considerations” are based on my observations of how IMDB contributors behave, hence the grade GR is an objective measure choosen based on subjective observations (for more details, jump here). Currently, I believe that, for many people around me, this calculated grade is much more helpful for deciding which film to watch than any other system I saw (either “objective”, or based on opinions of friends, critics etc).

How to use this list?

I consider these reviews (which I call “reviews from demanding viewers”) to be much more important than the grade GR itself. These reviews have a very good chance to contain intelligent observations about the film. (The way to find these reviews is the keystone which makes this page possible.) Let me repeat: I strongly recommend inspecting all the supplied “additional info” about the film and these reviews before deciding whether to watch a film or not; the grade GR should only help to decide which rows in the table should be inspected first! (For more details, visit the main page.)

Review links leading to empty pages (or pages with few review):

Film’s info hidden in the entries in the list:

Most columns in the table have additional information provided when mouse is resting over the field. (This information is summarized when mouse is resting over cells in the header row of the table.) The display (or non-display) of icons can be controlled by changing selection in the browser’s menu View/Page Style (press Alt to see the menu). The release year is color-coded to denote TV films, TV mini-series, and TV series. A person’s name is bluish-tinted if its popup has additional info about other films by the guy (in the same capacity: director/writer/camera/music); the pale-red number is the best GR-grade they.achieved in this capacity.
