Due to a hardware failure at our news feed, I don't think that last week's ratings made it out into the world. My apologies for any inconveniences.
Since this report actually covers two weeks, a few new movies actually acquired the requisite five votes to make it onto the list without being on a ballot first. They are listed below.
For information on the list format, and on submitting your ratings, see the end of this posting.

If do not want to rate a particular movie, just DELETE THAT LINE FROM THE BALLOT. When you are finished, SAVE THE FILE, and exit the editor. The votes will be sent to the movie rating tabulator.
If you want to vote for additional movies, just add them at the end, in a format similar to the existing entries.
Make sure you save the file before exiting! More than 1,000 votes have been lost because they arrived without the ratings filled in.
Thanks for participating in the rec.arts.movies ratings poll.

Interesting how compressed these ratings are. None of the top 10 has a rating above 9, none of the bottom 10 has a rating below 3. The actual rating system, while allowing for 10 positions, only actually uses 7.
Chuck, what is the actual mean rating? These numbers would suggest that it would be somewhere around a 6.5.

It seems natural to me that some compression is going to happen just because of the number of people doing the rating, and the diversity of opinion of those people. I doubt you could find a film that EVERYONE would give either a 9 or 10. Witness the frequent debates over whether CITIZEN KANE is a masterpiece or a bore. This seems enough to explain the high end compression.
The low end is explained if you recall that Chuck only includes in his top/bottom ten lists those films which have received 50 or more votes. If a movie is REALLY bad, word of mouth probably gets around and not so many people see it. Also, I know I forget the titles of really bad films while I try to remember those of good ones so I can recommend them to my friends. Thus, the REALLY bad films don't get enough votes to appear in the bottom 10 list. If you search through the complete list, though, there are a number of films in the 1.0-2.0 ratings range. (There are also some in the 9.0-10.0 range, evidently good films with limited distribution).
I, too, would be intersted in the mean rating, mainly to see how it compares with my mean. I have a feeling I tend to rate high, just because I like movies in general.

Well, a quick "awk" of the latest report shows that the average rating is 6.2, while the average vote is 6.4. There are 1,654 ratings in the report and 59,195 votes represented. So things are slightly skewed off average.
I had been contemplating reducing the requirements for the top 10 lists to be just 30 votes, which I recall as being the minimum number of anything needed to be statistically significant. If so, the top 10 would be:
