Collected here are all of my annual "Best movies of" lists I've made so far. There's one for each of the years I've been alive, from 1977 to present. I've listed them here under my top film for each year and divided them by decade (aside from 2010) in reverse chronological order.
You'll also notice there's no set number of films for each year. That's because some years have more great films than others (a few have less than 10), so I hate to lock myself down to a unifying number.
UPDATE: Now that lists of lists can be created, I've made a new version of this list. Please check it out too.
