Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

I don't give out 10s easily. Of the 4500+ movies I've rated on IMDb, I've only given out about 15 10s.
shareDon't be stingy son.
I've given 50 10/10s from 1629 movies. That works out to 3% which is fair I think. 3/100 movies get full marks.
37 out of 902 for me at 4%.
shareI don't expect movies to be perfect, but a 10 for me needs a mix of being close to perfection, no scenes that bore me, great performances overall, re-watchability, memorability, and it has to make me feel something when I think about it.
shareJust checked. It's actually 17 movies.

You don't like foreign films?
shareHeh. 31 out of 4190 features = 0.74% over here. My rating bell curve is a bit lopsided for my liking, peaking at 7/10, but at least it’s a true bell shape. I figure I rarely would watch a movie I think I’d hate, unless in a so-bad-it’s-good context, but then those get a bump for at least making me laugh.
shareI'm exactly like you. I won't watch a film that I don't think I'll like, but I do leave it open for movies like Troll 2.
shareFunny; that was the film I had in my head when I was writing. Rated that 6/10. :D Full disclosure: I saw it after the documentary about it, Best Worst Movie (2009), which might have influenced my experience watching the original film. Also applies to MST3K/Rifftrax, though I tend to give those films truly bad ratings, and Rifftrax versions have a lot of their own IMDb entries.
