I've noticed you rarely have any films that rank below *** for your pre-1950s films (or indeed, pre-1980s). Is this simply because you've watched VERY few bad movies from the early years of cinema, or are you not listing them, or what?

It's just been easier to get at the better movies the older they are. The early 80s coincides w/ the age where I'd go see anything, no matter how bad. And I'm convinced there are still about a hundred or two hundred movies I've seen that I haven't been able to recall for these lists yet.
