Most anticipated? What does that mean? I think tribefan runs that thread from Legend.Wow, really? I thought most forum posters would see more than the average amount of films per year.When I first became interested was in 2004, so from then on I've seen at least 60 films a year, highest was over a 100.So how many films do you really like Iceroll?Either your conversion rate is high or like, you only have 40 films you actually like?For me, despite being interested and watching so many films, probably less than 25% I really like each year. Sometimes I do wonder why I decide on going ahead with watching films I may not like, but I guess I like to watch movies at least in the hopes they're decent if not rewatchable.

Sorry for the late response, I forgot I wrote in this thread. I dunno, I guess I don't really watch movies that I'm not interested in so my like percentage is pretty high. Probably 60% of movies I've seen I like. And I meant the scoring could be done the way it's done in the "Most Anticipated" thread with #1 counting for 20 points, #2 for 19 and so on.
