Stars Upon Thars --
- 1 star 0.3% (usually because I would stop watching if I thought it was *that* terrible. Two movies were rated one star.)
- 2 stars 6.5% (this includes 2 1/2 stars, which is CENTER of what a movie can be) (39 movies)
- 3 stars 25.9% (again including 3 1/2 stars) (155 movies)

- 5 stars 37.4% (this does include repeats) (224 movies, again this includes those I watched more than once)
Genres. This isn't really completely accurate...because silent movies most of them would also count as COMEDIES or romances or drama or whatnot. And I did combine categories--on my spreadsheet I had three different descriptions for 'action' (action superhero, action thriller, and action/adventure). Same with other categories. Romantic comedies AND romantic dramas were combined to romance. And it does not take into account holiday romantic comedies or holiday romantic dramas.
- Silent movie 26.9% (161)
- speculative fiction 17.6% (105)
- romance 9.2% (55)
- musical 7.5% (45)
- comedy 6.4% (38)
- holiday 5.5% (33)
- action 5.2% (31)
- period drama 5% (30)
- animated 5% (30)
- documentary 3.5% (21)
- drama 3.2% (19)
- mystery/crime 2.7% (16)
- war drama 1.7% (10)
- sports 0.5% (3)
- competition 0.2% (1)
