For archival purposes, I file everything by the year
it had its world premiere. Many of these films will have been
commercially released in the U.S. a year or two later, so my lists
won’t always match up with other folks’ lists.
Films I haven’t yet rated on that scale are
marked with if I
currently think they belong in my top ten. These films are subject to
being shifted around or yanked altogether at any moment, after I revisit
them and they get a numeral. (Lists from prior to about 1988 are
especially suspect, as I compiled them long ago from memories that were
in many cases already pretty dusty.)
Seen but currently unrated (and not
presumptively among my top 10):Cloak and Dagger (Lang);
Duel in the Sun (Vidor); The Kid From Brooklyn
(McLeod); Paisan (Rossellini); The Strange Love of Martha
Ivers (Milestone); The Strange Woman (Ulmer); The
Verdict (Siegel)
As yet unseen:No Regrets for Our
Youth (Kurosawa)
I occasionally write reviews of older movies, but it happens too infrequently to file them by year.
