MOVIE PAYSCALE

Yes, instead of rating a movie on a scale of one to ten, I rate them on a scale of MONEY, based on how much I would pay to see this movie for the first time (now that I know how good/bad it is). Note: in the minus category you would have to PAY ME to go.

For Example:

$10	Gone With The Wind, Romeo and Juliet, A Man for All Seasons, Dr. Zhivago
$9	Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, A River Runs Through It, Traffic, American Beauty, Cast Away, Gladiator, Titanic
$8	Chocolat, Snatch, Silverado, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Erin Brockovich, Sixth Sense, Fargo, Pleasantville, Aladdin, Terminator, the Joy Luck Club, Tombstone, 48 Hours, Don Juan de Marco, You've Got Mail
$7	Fight Club, Ghost Dog, Almost Famous, Unbreakable, Wayne' s World, Lion King, The Letter
$6	Save the Last Dance, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Beavis and Butthead Do America, The Patriot, Beauty and the Beast, Terminator 2, Down to Earth, The Gift
$5	Charlie's Angels, The Addams Family, Blair Witch Project, What Dreams May Come
$4	Immortal Beloved
$3	Remains of the Day (I have my reasons)
$2	Center Stage
$1	The Tigger Movie
$0	Anything on TV
-$1	Jaws, The Exorcist
-$2	The Art of War
-$3	The Cell
-$4	Keep the Faith
-$5	Dr. T. and the Women
-$6	Big Momma's House
-$7	Me, Myself and Irene
-$8	TBA
-$9	TBA
-$10	Left Behind, a Christian "Thriller," from the plot-free school of screenwriting.

As you can see, there are some movies worth paying for, and others you'd have to pay me to watch again. And I'm kidding about the prices. My time bills out for more than that. In the minus category... it starts to seem like WORK.
