Glancing at the graph implies a huge dip until you realize the axis starts at 5.5 and it's only a minor dip. Damn misleading graphs lol

Sorry about that. That was how python automatically formatted it when it got graphed so that was how I left it. There definitely still is a decline overall in the average rating of Christmas movies though in the graph. Would it have been better to show a range from 0-10 on the side? I feel like it would be difficult to view the differences between each year if I had changed the range to that but I would love to hear your suggestions.

If the ratings are from 1-10 then that should be the range of the graph. If that means you can't really see a big difference between years...then there's not a big difference between years.

Might also be interesting to graph both the average and median scores

Would also like to see the number of movies released on a 2nd axis in appropriately festive shades.

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for the advice and help. I re-graphed it with the y axis range being 0-10 and with the median and mean lines on it. I apologize for the poor initially graph as graphing it this way shows that it really isn't as drastic as a change as a cursory glance would indicate. I also graphed all the movies as a dot plot to see if there where very much of a discernible trend there. Here is the graphs that I made if your interested. https://imgur.com/a/PWOJHua
