To date, I've rented 65 DVDs (movies and TV shows) from Netflix, and I thought it might be interesting to see what it would look like to plot the ratings for those DVDs over time. So I did it. I'm still not sure whether or not it's actually interesting, but I figured I'd share anyway ... just in case.
So here are DVDs 1 through 65 (along the x-axis) with their 1 through 5 star rating (on the y-axis), along with a trend line that shows the average rating of all DVDs to that point:

Interesting but what of selection bias? what movies were given a ranking of 1?
Top Gun had better been one of the "5s"
All I can figure is your tolerance of crummy movies is increasing. Good for you!
You have way too much time on your hands...so which ones do your recommend?
In terms of recommendations, here are some the ones that got 5-stars:
- Batman Begins
- Annie Hall
- Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism
- The Queen
- Jimmy Carter: Man from the Plains
- Blood Diamond
- Gandhi
- Why We Fight
As for the lowest rated ones:
- P.S. I Love You
- The Holiday
- 21
- Clerks 2
- Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
- Hard Candy
- Across the Universe
My date convinced me to see "No Country for Old Men" instead of "P.S. I Love You" when it was out...we never saw "P.S.I Love You" -- guess we will go with your recommendation on that!
