For those who may not know the title makes reference to the Siskel & Ebert & the Movies television show. The show consisted of two film critics from opposing newspapers (Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert) in which they viewed clips from the week's new movies, discussed them, then passed judgment expressed in thumbs up (to approve) or thumbs down (not worth seeing). Roger Ebert was a big influence in my formative years when I began watching movies and I will talk about him later on when I discuss my philosophy when rating movies.

These were the Power Rankings for previous years with their respecting ratings:

2015

1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens: 6/10
2. Spectre: 6/10
3. The Revenant: 6/10
4. Triple 9: 6/10
5. Sicario: 7/10

2016

1. Silence: 6/10
2. The Accountant: 6/10
3. A Monster Calls: 6/10
4. Rogue One: 7/10
5. Live By Night: 5/10

2017

1. Twin Peaks: 6/10
2. Star Wars: The Last Jedi: 5/10
3. Phantom Thread: 6/10
4. Dunkirk: 7/10
5. Wind River: 6/10

Quite interesting, some observations:

• In each year only 1 out of my top 5 most anticipated movies have been rated 7 or better (7 to be exact). And none of the highest rated movies was ranked above 4th in the Power Rankings: (5th in 2015, 4th in 2016 and 2017).
• On each of the 1st 3 years a Star Wars Universe movie was included into the Power Rankings (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One, Star Wars: The Last Jedi) a streak that was broken this year with the exclusion of Solo: A Star Wars Story but will probably resume next year with Star Wars: Episode IX.
• Silly fact: A film in which an Affleck brother has acted or directed has been included in 3 of the 4 years of the Power Rankings: (2015: Casey in Triple 9, 2016: Ben in both The Accountant and Live By Night which he also directed, 2018: Casey in The Old Man & The Gun).
• Seen in the theater:
  • 2015: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Spectre and Sicario.
  • 2016: The Accountant and Rogue One.
  • 2017: Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
  • 2018: Probably none.
