At ones

He’s like Neo with all the computer monitors set up around him. 7 movies going at ones. Numbers and equations floating around in his head to solve the mystery of the list. Then after every movie this happens…

Maybe he got a movie version of DJ’s football monitoring dungeon set up. 35 tvs surrounding a chair.

This is Britain's first ever talkie.
Hitchcock absolutely nails it.

You saw 15 films in a few days? 😶

I tried 54 in I think 4 days.

Probably completed about 20.

I completed 19.

Just watching back to back all day.

I'd already selected the films from the criterion collection list.

What’s your criteria for scoring? A film is like a meal. Sometimes you can indulge but generally one needs a break to be able to fully appreciate the next meal. It makes me think you’re only getting surface level enjoyment from whatever you’re watching.

I can understand that point of view.

My scores aren't cast in stone. For instance I've been over the order of my list loads of times, and that involves having a refresher of the films (doing that again today). Most of the films in my list I've seen more than once.
The feeling I have at the end of a movie the first time I watch it though does stay with me and I give it considerable weight.
I personally rarely find the need to think about a movie substantially after I've watched it (I know that many people regularly do). One yesterday was The Double Life of Veronique, where I did take some time to reflect on what I'd watched afterwards. But once I'd done that I was fine with how I felt about it.

Fair enough I suppose. I guess I’m just trying to get a feel for what you’re looking at in a film. I believe you had formed your opinion on a few films after watching like 15 mins or something.

Are you going for purely technical ability?
Acting?
Storytelling?
Plot?
Atmosphere/ambience?
Soundtrack?
Direction?
Cinematography?
Lighting?
Editing?
Age?

Oh yeah, that's fair I can give up on films after 15 minutes, or even 5 minutes.
Some examples from the recent 54:
Crazed Fruit (1956)
Roma (1972)
In the Realm of the Senses (1976)
One Night in Miami (2020)

I think with each of these within 5 minutes I've thought there's no way this is making it. Then I've skipped forward a couple of times to check, and still of the same view so I just can it.

Sometimes I get through 90 minutes of a 2 hour film and give up on it. Some examples from the 54 films:
3 Women (1977)
El Sur (1983)
Perfect Days (2024)

Once I know it's not making my list I very rarely continue with a film. If I didn't do that I would never have found/experienced so many great films as I have.

In fact there are films I've disregarded without watching even a second of them! They just never made my viewing list.

I suppose at the end of the day I see it as a %age game. What is the value in me spending time or further time on this movie?

I think yours is a good list of attributes. I recently answered a similar question by reference to the following qualities:
-Lighting/use of light, visual composition, sound
-Pace, tempo
-Whether your interest is drawn and maintained; engagement
-charm, intelligence
-imagination, originality, surprise
-technical innovation
-Hitting emotional spots is a good bonus
-not undermined by poor acting

Yes I definitely take the age/period of the film into account.

No

I red

Although it has higher capability, I would nevertheless be quite happy to present the list in chronological order.

Yo Bill, Anatomy of a Murder… I started it.
Realised it’s a bonkers long film and no CGI.
Great cast though…
So… is it in the mode of 12 Angry Men?

Ha! That's I think the only one on the list I didn't watch.
Couldn't find it. It's still there in my to watch list along with some Louis Malle documentary about India.

OH, SORRY ANATOMY OF MURDER
MY BAD
I thought you meant anatomy of a fall, which was on my to watch list and is still on my to watch list!!

It is a long film indeed. But you don't feel it.
It goes along at a cracking pace and tempo.
I dunno man, give it a go
It's not a difficult film. I can't imagine many people not liking it. Attitudes to women are very dated, but if you can get over that it's a great watch. Gripping.
