Risselada:In the case of Malick specifically, I have seen Badlands which I gave a score of 10, Days of Heaven which was a 9, and The Thin Red Line which was an 8. I have yet to see The New World. So the average score works out to be 9. But it's a higher percentage of movies.
I wasn't too impressed by "The New World." I think this might have been a case of overselling. I'd heard so many good things about the movie, so I figured I'd really like it. Then I watched it, and I was sort of bored. I know I expected more of something, but sadly I don't remember what because it's been more than a year since I watched it.
On your second list of directors: Do the numbers listed represent the number of movies you've seen of a certain director, or their average rating?
