I'm going to start using thumbs up/sideways/and down to rate films (assuming I remember), because it allows for much more subjectivity. I simply don't think, at least in my case, that rating by numbers is very accurate.
The Fly
Thumbs Up
The first movie by David Cronenberg I remember seeing, long before I knew who he was (is), and I find it interesting upon rewatching it that while I recognize Cronenberg's style in the film, my memories of it go so far back that I'm incapable of feeling like I am watching a David Cronenberg film. I am simply watching The Fly. And, I suppose, that's a testament to how good it is, that it made such an impact on me when I saw it at a younger age and I am relatively incapable of looking past the film itself to see the director behind it.
