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):Allegro non troppo (Bozzetto);
Eat My Dust (Griffith); The Enforcer (Fargo); Family
Plot (Hitchcock); Freaky Friday (Nelson); The Gumball
Rally (Bail); King Kong (Guillermin); The Man on the
Roof (Widerberg); Marathon Man (Schlesinger); The Marquise
of O (Rohmer); Murder by Death (Moore); Next Stop,
Greenwich Village (Mazursky); 1900 (Bertolucci); A Real
Young Lady (Breillat); The Seven-Per-Cent Solution (Ross);
The Shootist (Siegel); Small Change (Truffaut);
A Star Is Born (Pierson); Young Dr. Freud (Corti)
As yet unseen:I Only Want You to Love
Me (Fassbinder); Illustrious Corpses (Rosi); Satan's
Brew (Fassbinder); Seven Beauties (Wertmüller); Stay
Hungry (Rafelson)
I occasionally write reviews of older movies, but it happens too infrequently to file them by year.
