Hey there. I thought this would be rather interesting to see how many stars you rate your CDs. These are a few of mine:5 out of 5
1. Days of Thunder
2. The Rock 4.75 out of 5
1. Phantom Menace
2. Transformers: The Movie
3. The Fabulous Baker Boys 4.5 out of 5
1. Armageddon 4 out of 5
1. Braveheart
2. TWINE
3. Legends of the Fall
4. Dances with Wolves 3.5 out of 5
1. Sleepy Hollow
2. Crimson Tide
3. The Empire Strikes Back
4. The Mask of Zorro 2 out of 5
1. Entrapment
2. Batman Forever The above ratings are purely of my personal opinion. I'm working on a formula on how to calculate the ratings. This may sound weird, but it's kinda fun to see whether the calculated ratings matches your ratings personally without calculation.

I actually intended to start a thread about NP ratings myself. What I would like to know, HOW do you rate your CDs? I mean, if a CD is ok, does it get 3 stars out of 5, meaning that everything below is bad? Or do 3 stars already mark a good score?I use 3 of 5 as the rating for scores which are ok, that is scores that I rather like, but not that much. 4 stars are for really good scores, 5 stars for very good ones. And my favourites get 6 out of 5  So how do YOU do that?

Correction: 6 stars are reserved for my ABSOULTE favourites. "Star Trek TMP" e.g. is definitely a favourite, but only gets 5 stars, which are reserved for really good & impressive scores. It's really not easy to find a good rating system.  NP: Star Trek TMP (Jerry Who, you know the rating)

Interesting topic.Well, 5/5 is absolute best. Since I am careful what scores I buy, I have a lot of those. 4/5 is very good to excellent. This might be a score that is excellent with the film and just not that good on its own but still very good. 3/5 is average. Some great moments but nothing spectacular overall. 2/5 below average. Still a good score to have and some very good momemts that warrant an edited suite. 1/5 very troubled score. Some nice listenings, but probably won't get listened to more than once a year. 0/5 a score I find just terrible. This is the kind of cd that gets tossed out or given away. Only two scores encountered such a fate. People under the Stairs got tossed and Drop Zone got dropped on friend. Any half points inbetween are pretty much selfexplanatory. Scott NP:Raiders of the Lost Ark (now you see, this is a 5/5)

Marian, the formula I was talking about is goes something like this:The amount of music that is worth listening to divided by the total amount of music. Or maybe just the number of tracks you like per total tracks on the disc. The percentage of it times 5 stars. Something like that... More ratings from my list: 4 out of 5
1. Goldeneye (surprise surprise!)
2. Edward Scissorhands 3.5 out of 5
1. Rambo
2. Prince of Egypt
3. TND (General release)
4. Toy Story
5. Mission: Impossible 3 out of 5
1. Drop Zone NP M:I-2 Trailer mp3

Many like to have 5 stars be great and one be awfull but not me. I can only compare the scores I have to the scores I have; and I am not gonna buy a bad score. If I do buy a bad score and find myself never listening to it because it is bad then I get rid of it. I use the star system in a different way(actually I almost never use it on my NPs - when I actually do the NP thing - I need to get better, I know)
5 stars means perfection
(only a very few get this)
4 means absolutely amazing
3 really great
2 very good
1 good or average or ok
so that a 1 star score is still an ok listen nothing that is bad gets a star. dont you remember kindergarten? you only get stars for something good hehe.
