I conducted an experiment in the year 2008. I wanted to keep a tab on the number of movies I watched through the year. I diligently noted every movie I saw. At the end of the year, a list was produced here. A similar list was produced in the year 2014. A repeat of this experiment was done in the year 2015. Here is the list and the ratings for each of the movies. And yes, a century was completed this year. The final tally was 105.
Scores:
2008: 99
2014: 86
2015: 105
Scores:
2008: 99
2014: 86
2015: 105

Happy New Year, Parth!
I'll add a movie to your 2016 list: Kaaka Muttai (Tamil) and Anomalisa (English). Easily two of the best I saw in 2015. :)
@Vidya, happy new year to you too. I'll certainly add the two to the list. The former will need subtitles for me :)
First, hats off from someone who finished at 53 movies for the year and felt quite accomplished!
I made a quick distribution chart for your ratings (https://goo.gl/photos/SJ87Wz2E1f9NpXA79) and looks like either you're a bit too generous, or you've been selectively watching better movies.
If we assume all movies follow the bell curve then perhaps, keeping your quality of movies intact, you need to regrade them from 2016 to fit the curve:)
Here's to the next 100.
@Suhel, bless you for having the patience to do the analysis :) I am (a) selecting fairly decent movies and (b) generous to a fault. The latter explains the high ratings :)
