I love this much more than top ten lists for the current year. Although I think Bordwell and Thompson outdid you with their top 10 of 1917 list! I've actually seen about three of theirs. Some pretty cool stuff.

Editor: Yeah, I'm still a while away from having seen enough films to attempt anything that comprehensive. It's most impressive.

Jenny: I carry a soft spot in my heart for Pennies From Heaven too.
