A rough breakdown of the grades:
A Classic.

B- Pretty good films, but with some serious problems.
C+ Hack material, but with a couple praiseworthy lements.
C Standard Hollywood schlock.
C- Sub-par schlock.
D+ Now we're down in the basement dwellers.
D Why did they bother to make this film?
D- So, so bad.
F Absolutely abysmal. Usually, failed "art" films.
W/O Walk out. Didn't bother to finish it.
