Ranking Challenge: 1927 - 1969

I've embarked on a challenge to rate and rank every film I've ever seen. I estimate that I've seen about 1,500 films, and perhaps surprisingly (though not to me), only 65 of them were released before 1970. At least at my present count. I'm sure I forgot about a few. Anyway, I thought I would publish that list. 

Each film is rated according to certain criteria, which I would rather not spend the time explaining, because it isn't really a rigorous method at all. It is more of a separating of the aspects of a film I can enjoy independently from one another. You will also notice that each film has two ratings. The first is "favorite" which includes a heavily weighted category for how much I personally enjoyed the film. The second is "best", which does not include that category. The best score a film can get is 10/10. 

Here is the list:
