Letterboxd Stats showdown: Greta Garbo/Marlene Dietrich

[kanafani]

Hello and welcome to the latest letterboxd stats showdown: Greta Garbo versus Marlene Dietrich

How does it work?
I'll read data from the letterboxd accounts of SCFZ champs. I'll then use this data to answer the questions that have been keeping you all up at night: Which Garbo/Dietrich s movie was highest rated by champs? Which was rated lowest-rated? Which champ has seen the most from Garbo/Dietrich? ETC.

When will I do this?
Friday March 1

In the ultimate showdown, each champ gets one vote: Your vote goes to the actress whose movies you gave a higher average rating to. If you gave both actors the same average rating or you're one of those people who don't believe in ratings, your vote goes to no one.

Place your bets! Here are the questions - answer as many as you want:

1. How wins? Garbo or Dietrich? By how much? Example: Garbo+ 5, Dietrich + 1, etc.
2. What Garbo movie did champs rate the highest?
3. What Dietrich movie did champs rate the highest?
4. Which champ has the seen the most Garbo movies? How many did said champ see?
5. Which champ has the seen the most Dietrich movies? How many did said champ see?

The winner gets to pick the next showdown.
