2014 Film Experiment (Results)

For a second consecutive year, my closest group of friends were kind enough to give me a numerical rating from 1-10 of every film they saw last year. Much like 2013, the consensus of the group wasn't too far from my personal feelings, but there were still some surprises along the way.
