: I'm not criticizing your picks, but isn't probably the number 1 characteristic of all good films, that they are enjoyabe. To me, you're saying "American Beauty was better than Toy Story, but I liked Toy Story more." Please explain.
I think it depends on how you choose to define 'enjoyable'.
I've had great fun at movies that really weren't made well ('Ace Ventura' comes to mind; really bad on second viewing), and almost no fun at well made movies ('Blair Witch' - really well made, but definatly not scary).
But I agree that it makes more sense to define the whole experience as enjoyable - which I think you were doing - and rate them that way.
But that's jsut me.
