The Ratings Project
« on: September 26, 2012, 02:02:12 PM »
How does this work?
Every week, I'll post a list of about 60 titles, usually tied together by a theme. Then everyone rates all the titles they've seen (and remember well enough to rate) on a 0.0-10.0 scale. At the end of the week, I'll tally up the ratings and post the results for that week's batch of films. I'll also update the Top Ten Percent list, which tracks the highest scoring films in the history of the project, and also the Communal Watchlist, a continually updated list of the top 250 films (by average) that aren't already represented on the Top Ten Percent but have an average rating of at least 7.50 from fewer than 15 votes.

Is the project open to all Filmspotters?
Of course! As with most any forum project, the more participation the better.

Do I have to post my ratings publicly?
No, if for any reason you'd prefer to keep some or all of your ratings private, you can send them to me via private message instead.

How do you decide which films to include in the project?
The first twenty-seven weeks of the project have been focused exclusively on titles which received at least one vote in the Filmspotters' Top 100 Movies (2012 Edition). Once we run through all of those, we'll likely use the project to create group lists, such as Top 100 Horror Films and Top 100 Documentaries. I'll also be sure to poll on any new titles that receive votes in the 2013 edition of our Top 100 Movies, once that list is released this fall.

Can I go back and vote on the films from previous weeks?
Yes, please! The more complete your ratings are, the better. Here are the relevant links:

Week 36: Top 100 Horror Nominees: The Final Chapter
Week 37: New Top 100 List Entries
Week 38: More Top 100 List Updates

Can we update our votes for a previous week?
Definitely. In fact, if I happen across a review from you of a film you haven't rated previously in the project, I'll probably message you to get a rating. But you can update your own ratings at any time, either by posting in this thread or sending me a message.

What's the best way to tell if a film has already been included in the project?
I recommend going to the print version of the Weekly Results thread and then using your browser's find feature to search for the title (or director or year).

Can you send me a list of all the films in the project so far along with my corresponding ratings?
That's usually no problem. Just message me your email address, and I'll send you a spreadsheet with all your ratings to date along with all the titles you've yet to rate.

Can you post the full database somewhere?
I'm reluctant to do so, mostly because some participants have chosen to keep their ratings private.

How come the selection of films for a given theme didn't include some essential titles?
Lots of possible reasons for this: The film was already part of a previous week; it was being held for a future week's theme; it didn't meet some other criteria (like, early on, having been on someone's Top 100 ballot); the selection of films was capped at sixty titles and it didn't make the cut; et cetera.

Is there a standard ratings scale that people use?
No, everybody has their own definition of how good an "8" is compared to a "5", for instance. A number of voters follow the school norm where everything below a 6.0 is considered a failure. Others make more use of the full ten-point scale, awarding scores of 4-5 to mediocre films and reserving the 0-3 range for the true failures. For a discussion of the various approaches, see here.

Should I rate titles based on how well they fit a given week's theme or just on how good the film is in and of itself?
Definitely the latter. The weekly themes are mainly just decorative.

How is a film's Score calculated?
A film's Score represents a weighting of its Average by its total number of Ratings. The idea here is that the more votes a film gets, the harder time it has maintaining a high average. For a film to have 10 votes and still average above a 9.00 is pretty rare, but plenty of films with only a handful of votes have that kind of average. That's the basis for the Score calculation. The number of votes a film has determines its maximum score — e.g., 10.000 for the film with the most votes, 6.000 for a film with just a single vote — and then its raw average is applied to that maximum as a ratio. As I'm writing this, for example, Sherlock Jr. has an average of 8.59 from 17 votes. The max score for a film with 17 votes is currently 9.58, so Sherlock Jr. score is 8.59 x (9.58 / 10) = 8.226. Sαtαntangσ, meanwhile, has a significantly higher average (9.02) from significantly fewer votes (10). The max score for a film with 10 votes is currently 9.12, so Sαtαntangσ score is 9.02 x (9.12 / 10) = 8.223, placing it just behind Sherlock Jr. in the standings, despite Keaton's film having the lower average.

Why did this film's rating drop so much in just a single week?
Big shifts in the rankings are usually attributable to one or more participants being inactive in the project for four weeks. When that happens, I remove their ratings from the group calculations, usually resulting in wild swings in the Top Ten Percent list and the Communal Watchlist. When those same participants actively start rating films again, I restore their old ratings, resulting in swings the other way. I also occasionally have to tweak the scoring math to make the formula match the total number of active participants. This too can cause certain films to rise or drop significantly (especially the films with fewer total ratings).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

It's possible I haven't thought through this fully enough. I imagine it'll be a lot cooler like three months from now.

Voting should be done in this thread. Just rate all the titles you've seen (and remember well enough to rate) on a 0-10 scale (with one decimal place allowed for the Criticker folks). It'll be easiest for me if you place your rating at the end of each line (after the dash) and delete the titles you don't rate.

Quoted for convenience.
