Movie Ratings

I like movies and I’m a collector, so I love seeing how many movies I can mark off my to-watch list. I recently started rating every movie I’ve even seen and that process taught me about a lot of great (or critically acclaimed) movies that I have never seen.

I use the movie rating site Letterboxd and as of posting this, I’ve rated over 1,200 films.

This wouldn’t be a Beard Blog post without a Top 10 list so based on my ratings found on Letterboxd, here are my top 10 movies of all time:

    Written & Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
  2. The Big Lebowski (1998) 5/5
    Written and Directed by: Joel & Ethan Coen
  3. The Departed (2006) 5/5
    Directed by: Martin Scorsese
  4. Django Unchained (2012) 4.5/5

Honorable Mention:
Good Will Hunting (1998) 4.5/5
Directed by: Gus Van Zant

Good Will Hunting was one of the movies I discovered I’ve never seen when rating films on Letterboxd. It doesn’t (yet) get a place on the top 10 list as I haven’t had enough time to reflect on it since watching it.

Every year I list my top 10 movies of the year, 2022 coming soon!
