To the people who actually rate out of 100
Re: To the people who actually rate out of 100
some films are almost the same level, but I just prefer one a bit more, so I give it that extra point

Re: To the people who actually rate out of 100
Personally, I use the entire scale, and yes, every point counts. When figuring out the exact spot a movie should go, I compare it to movies that are similar in content and/or tone. Usually, I find a couple of good points of comparison nearby, and if not, I stick it about where I think it should go based on rewatchability and adjust as need be.

For me, there is no calculation; it's all intuitive. (Which means they often slip around a bit when I come back to my rankings in a different mood, but hey.)

No, it makes it easier. If you're struggling between a 5 or a 4 then it's a 4.5 Think that's a little high, leaning a bit more towards the 4, then 4.4 or 4.3.

Sometimes I wish, I had ranked my movies with just 10 distinct ratings - that would have generated a Tier which was more according how I liked the movie, rather tha
That wouldn't cut it in your case. If you had been scoring out of 10, you would have 5-6 tiers scored as 6 or 7.

To each their own, but I just feel that at a certain point the range becomes far too broad and all you end up doing is splitting hairs.
Well, yeah, at a certain point - but the point's different for everyone. Which, I think, is the point of this thread.

Yes, it's always more beneficial to further extend the scale, in terms of being a more descriptive barometer of one's opinion. Rating one film a 50 and another a 54 out of 100 confers more information about one's tastes than rating both 5 out of 10.
If you feel like it's too much choice, just rate by multiples of 10 on the 0-100 scale, and you have essentially converted it to a 0-10 scale.
