Just a Slight Change

I’m realizing I need a way to separate the films I really enjoyed (It Happened One Night and Grand Hotel) from those I simply thought were good (Mutiny on the Bounty and All Quiet On the Western Front) from those I hated (Wings and Cimarron).
Mr. Howard Taylor (creator of Schlock Mercenary) ranks the films he sees each year. He does so with a “Threshold of Awesome,” a “Threshold of Disappointment,” and the films in between, he enjoyed them and had a good time. It’s proved useful for him for the past four years and I think I’ll adopt it as a system. I’ll call it the Edge of Enjoyment and Edge of Dissatisfaction.
1. It Happened One Night
2. Grand Hotel
3. Mutiny on the Bounty
4. All Quiet on the Western Front
5. Wings
6. Cimarron
