Special notes for the below lists

• A rating will be preceded by a tilde (~) if it’s been too long since I last saw that film for me to be sure of precisely how much I cared for it. This applies to everything I last saw before I started logging ratings in October 2009.
• If a list has less than ten films then I just haven’t seen enough films I like (i.e. 6.0 and higher) from that year to compose an entire, proper Top 10. They’ll all be filled up eventually. Promise.
• A list is replaced with TK when there are less than five films from that year that I like. (Exception: the Silent Era, since for some years it will take me a long time to discover five films I like.)
• The “Intending to See” lists are precisely that. I’m committed to checking out (though not necessarily finishing) ALL of these films for a variety of completist projects I’m currently wasting my time on, of which there are too many to go into detail on what they all are. There are certain films (e.g. Jacques Rivette’s Out 1, noli me tangere) I desperately want to check out that are not listed in the “Intending to See” section of their given release years, solely because they aren’t presently “required” by any of my completist projects. This is the sad existence I lead.
