But Not For Me is one of the weakest of Clark Gable's later films. It is based on a 1935 Broadway play, Accent on Youth by Samson Raphaelson, the same guy who wrote The Jazz Singer. The plot revolves around a fifty something Broadway producer who gets his batteries recharged when his secretary, Carroll Baker, confesses her love for him.
- Criteria For “The Best”
- Imdb, Rotten Tomatoes, Fandango, Or Metacritic?
- Fandango’s Users Love Movies Too Much
- The Verdict: Use Metacritic’s Metascore

Making such a recommendation is a lot like saying “this is the best place to look for a movie rating,” which is an evaluative statement, resting on some criteria used to determine what is better, what is worse or worst, and what is best, in this case. For my recommendation, I will use one single criterion: a normal distribution. The best place to l...
Now that we have a criterion to work with, let’s dive into the data. There are a lot of websites out there that come up with their own movie ratings. I have chosen only four, mainly based on their popularity, so that I could get ratings for movies with an acceptable number of votes. The happy winners are IMDB, Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacri...
One reason for this choice is that the distribution of Fandango’s movie ratings is the furthest from that of a normal one, having that obvious skew towards the higher part of the movie ratings spectrum. The other reason is the cloud of suspicion around Fandango left by Walt Hickey’s analysis. On October 2015, he was also puzzled by a similar distri...
All in all, I recommend checking the metascore whenever you are looking for a movie rating. Here’s how it works, and its downsides. In a nutshell, the metascore is a weighted average of many reviews coming from reputed critics. The Metacritic team reads the reviews and assigns each a 0–100 score, which is then given a weight, mainly based on the re...
To sum up, in this article I made a single recommendation of where to look for a movie rating. I recommended the metascore, based on two arguments: its distribution resembles the most a normal one, and it is the least correlated with the Fandango rating. All the quantitative and the visual elements of the article are reproducible in Python, as it i...
- 'Moonfall' Did you know that the Moon is actually a hollow megastructure being overrun by evil alien tech? (Spoiler alert, I guess.) Well, that's where this movie is taking us, and it only gets more ridiculous from there.
- 'Look Who’s Talking Now' The third movie in any trilogy is always going to struggle with the weight of expectations. But when the third movie is the conclusion of a talking baby saga in which we instead hear the inner monologue of the family dogs (voiced by Danny DeVito and Diane Keaton, naturally), it's something exceptional.
- 'Gigli' At the time, fans were excited for real-life couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck to star in a movie together. But they certainly didn't want this highly expensive flop, in which one of the main problems appeared to be that the pair didn't have any chemistry.
- 'Howard the Duck' As explained by Zach Kornfeld on a Watcher YouTube video about good-bad movies, this is why you shouldn't trust the auteur theory (i.e., that talented creative people only ever have good ideas).

Jan 30, 2010 · Jerry Warren made some dreadfully boring movies, often by taking foreign genre flicks and cutting in a few scenes of bad actors talking about the plot against bare walls. No one need suffer...
I'm looking for movies that are (unintentionally) bad, but in such a way that you can make fun of them while watching. Now, I don't mean movies like Sharknado that (generally) know that they're bad. I'm specifically thinking of movies like the 2004 Catwoman. Hit me with it!
