LIST - O - MANIA
from Nathaniel R
favorite films by yearShort Explanation of List
# after title indicates number of viewings --if viewings are multiple.
(Generally I don't tend to view films repeatedly). Rankings are extremely subject to change and when I've seen enough the whole top ten list will arrive.
Future Editions to this List ?
These will become top tens per year. The lists for each year will expand just as soon as I've seen 10 films that I at least like from that particular moment in time
