good grief, I don't even know where to begin explaining where you're off ...But let's play this game. Can someone take a look at Halliwell's Guide, which lists all **** movies in the back. They give out very, very few **** ratings, so it's not a difficult list to count up and calculate.

So without counting, what is your projection? You can start by saying that.
i just looked at the sight & vision polls, which were discussed here some weeks back and are linked below.american films make up about 20-25% of the critics' list and about 40-46% of the directors' list. (i say "about" because it depends on how you count films like "2001" or "Once Upon a Time in the West").
i'll look at my copy of haliwell's this weekend.

halliwells only goes up to three stars, and there are more movies listed as three stars than i care to count. also, many film titles i've never heard of, and i'm not going to bother looking up whether they're american or not. (the list is at the end of the book, in case anyone else wants to look it up.)quickly glancing at the list, i see that halliwell picks a lot of american films and give three stars to films like "speed".
