Yes I tend to just rate them on whether I enjoyed the film.
Yes but I think this sort of thing is what has led to Netflix recommending to me every Wrestling DVD ever made.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Apocolypse Now. Broccoli.
Maybe that would be a good way to rate them.
Broccoli = Good for You, see: Apocolypse Now
Fried Chicken Dinner = Comforting home food, see: Princess Bride
That weird fancy cuisine with 18 courses involving strange sauces made from exotic animal fats and some sort of almost-extinct hybrid fruit chutney, See: Merchant Ivory
Peeps = Funny and sort of classic, but you can't have too much or you'll puke, See: Dude, Where's My Car?
Chicken wings at Hooters = eeeew, See: Anything starring Cedric the Entertainer, various movies starring Robin Williams as some sort of heartwarming humantitarian of sorts.
The Appetizer Menu at TGI Fridays = Greasy transfats for the masses, See: Crash
And so on. Like that.
Man, I need to make lunch.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love Hooters' chicken wings.

How do you feel about Cedric the Entertainer?

I think he's wonderful in Barbershop. Other than that I'm kinda meh on him.
I think I see what you're going for though, something the masses love but you find distasteful. Like Rob Schneider. How about Twinkies?

I think he falls under those weird fat free chips that cause anal leakage.

As I'm sitting here, rating movies I've seen, it occurs to me that there's a vital component missing from their system.
or, the inability to say that a movie was "meh". there's really loved it, loved it, liked it, didn't like it, and hated it. There's no neutral setting. which some may think is irrelevant, but when it KEEPS asking you to rate a movie, you sometimes want to say meh.

when I can't decide on liked/didn't like I go with whether I'd watch it again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What was that recent movie with the guy in the phone booth... I thought it was brilliant, and I can't remember a damn thing about it.
eta: Frankenbuddha, thank you; I just bought the Anchor Bay edition of Wicker Man. Most pleased. Those missing scenes were a disappointment.
