The sixth hundred movies on this blog

There's still one F- and two Fs, but now eleven rather than ten F+s.  The D-s increased from 40 to 46, the Ds from 66 to 82, and the D+s from 103 to 131.  The C-s grew from 152 to 175 and Cs from 61 to 75.  The B-s continued that strange trend from last time of outnumbering the C+s, this time 30 vs. 23 rather than 24 vs. 20.  B's more modestly moved from 13 to 15, and there are still just three B+s.  However, there is finally an A- on this blog.

The decade breakdown has some surprises as well, now six rather than four 1920s movies, and 24 rather than 20 '30s movies.  There are fewer '40s movies than '30s, now 22 (rather than 21 last time), but the '50s were able to grow from 34 to 38, still surpassing the '60s, which have 31 (as opposed to 25 last time).  The '80s didn't budge much, just from 49 to 51, while the '90s grew from 72 to 88.  The 2000s still reign supreme, with 161 instead of 133.  And, yes, the 2010s are runners-up, but increasing from 105 to an impressive 141.  And, yeah, still that one lone 2020s movie.

"Based on a book" still applies to over a quarter of the movies, now 158 of them.  And Warner Bros. now has 73 movies.

What do I expect for the next hundred movies?  Well, we'll likely get through F but maybe not G.  The quality of the movies will probably remain about the same.
