Both films just bored me and I was not remotely interested in anything in the films. Actually I did not even want to finish them. But I did. I gave them a point for originality but thats all I found worth while.

Casino (1995 Martin Scorsese) - 7.5-8/10

Fight Club (1999 David Fincher) - 3.5-4/10 (used to like it back around the early-to-mid 2000's but did not hold up on a re-watch in April 2013 and now i consider it one of the most overrated movies in general.)

Forrest Gump (1994 Robert Zemeckis) - 8/10

Minority Report (2002 Steven Spielberg) - 6-6.5/10 (used to be scored higher)

Munich (2005 Steve Spielberg) - 8-8.5/10 (Spielberg's #1 movie. the only other Speilberg movie that still holds strong for me at this point is... War of the Worlds (2005)(7.5-8/10))

Platoon (1986 Oliver Stone) - 5/10

Psycho (1960 Alfred Hitchcock) - 5/10 (i liked this on initial viewing but did not hold up on a re-watch)

Pulp Fiction (1994 Quentin Tarantino) - 9/10 (Sam Jackson's scenes are powerful especially that end scene in the diner)

Raging Bull (1980 Martin Scorsese) - 5/10

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981 Steven Spileberg) - 5/10 (i like the 3rd/4th movies and don't care for the 1st/2nd movies)

Scarface (1983 Brian DePalma) - 7/10 (was a 10/10 not long ago)

The Thin Red Line (1998 Terrence Malick) - 6/10

Traffic (2000 Steven Soderbergh) - NA (i don't have this rated but i am pretty sure i have either seen it years ago or have at least seen bits and pieces. i would not expect i would score it higher than a 6/10 though)

Twelve Monkeys (1995 Terry Gilliam) - 5/10

The Wizard of Oz (1939 Victor Fleming) - 6/10? (i remember liking this as a kid and for years. but i have not seen it in many years now and i would not be surprised if i don't like it once i get around to re-watching it eventually. hell, i would not be surprised if i have trouble finishing it now)

Zodiac (2007 David Fincher) - 5/10



in general for me... 5/10 or less = Thumbs Down. 6/10 or higher = Thumbs Up


some more info, as here is how things rank by score for me...

10/10 = within my Top 10 movies
9/10 = within my Top 27 movies
8/10 = within my Top 59 movies
7.5-8/10 = within my Top 107 movies
7/10 = within my Top 196 movies

6-6.5/10 = within my Top 246 movies

6/10 = a mild Thumbs Up

Yeah but its just kinda a rule I have. I really want to give every film a fair shot. Although there are films I have gave a few taps of the fast forward button.
