Hope you guys find this interesting.

Find below some pretty good movies by directors on their debut. In case I have missed any, please message me just the name of the movie you would like to be included. For familiarity's and comparability's sake, let us include movies from 16 Vayathinilae only.

Here is how the thread will progress:
To begin with, there will not be any posts discussing the merits or goof-ups of movies. Each of us will rate the movies listed in a secret-ballot type system. Message me the ratings. This is to avoid the impact of one's ratings on somebody else who would rate later. The average score for a movie will decide the winner. If you haven't watched a movie or do not remember much from a movie, please refrain from voting.

After everyone has sent the scores, the ratings by each member and the aggregate figures will be revealed. Only then discussions will begin. The discussions as usual can be used for canvassing one's favorite movie or bash someone's ratings. When the discussions reaches a point of saturation, another poll of the same kind will be conducted. Expecting the discussions to be constructive and enlightening, positions of the movies are bound to change in the final rating. The change in positions in the final standings will be attributed to the hub imparted educated rating. A poll of the regular binary type will also be conducted to see how different it is from this result.

The following will be revealed in the end
The Most hyped movie - The movie that made the biggest drop in score
The Most underrated movie - The movie that made the biggest jump in score
Everyone's favorite - Should arrive using variance and average in scores
And perhaps much more based on your suggestions...

Please use your judgment rather than box office records to rate.
