It was just off the cuff really. Now for how many films are actually made I think your numbers are way off. I know that on average about 200 to 250 films are elgible for Oscar consideration each year. To be elgible all they need is an American thaetrical release. No that does include a good number of films made that go straight to video bt are we really talking about those? Are those "Hollywood" films? They are mostly indys. Also this list each year of 200 to 250 films does include any foriegn or independent film that simply gets an American theatrical release. So to make better estimates on the ratio of great film one must have better numbers. Then we have to do the impossible, agree on what is an is not a great film.
