Average Ratings

Ratings were assigned using a Maltin-style four-star system, with no 0.5 rating. N = number of participants who rated that film. Dev. = standard deviation; the higher the number, the greater the disagreement among voters. Titles in parentheses signify fewer than ten votes -- just an indication to take the rating with a pinch of salt.
