5! worth it for Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption alone! Add The Body (Stand By Me) and the deeply disturbing Apt Pupil and Breathing method and it's a 10!

Great collection.

4.5

Shawshank and The Body are definitely 5's but Apt Pupil and The Breathing Method are 4's at best for me.

Three "5" stories and one "4" story comes out to a 4.75.

I rounded up. 5.

Is there a reason 2.5 and 3.5 are switched around?

That's an oversight on my part. Apologies. Obviously, the 2.5 poll option between 4 and 3 is really 3.5. I can't see a way to correct this now.

Oh they're both 2.5. Then everyone will have seen it ^^. Since I gave it a 4.5, there was no doubt for me ;-)

5, The only story I wasn't overly thrilled with was The Breathing Method. But the others more than make up for that one.

but bears could, and did!
(pablo, it took me a few years of active moderating to see that little edit poll option... Also, I asked other mods at least three times in the course of those years: once you've seen it, it is, contrary to common practice, extremely easy to un-see)

P.S. Yes, and bears voted 5, of course
