2024 in Films
Format adapted from Charles François, who I
still hope will one day rediscover his cinephilia and start hanging out
with myself and the Skandies crew
again. It’s been ten years since he last used it and I hereby
declare it in the public domain.
Combine the first two columns for a list of films
released (or "released") in 2024, and the last two columns for films seen
in 2024. Ordering is preferential when ratings are identical.
