Dan Sallitt's
Favorite Films, by International Release Date
If you want to be notified when new films appear here, send email
to sallitt at post dot harvard edu.
I made these
lists at the request of Theo Panayides
for a project of his. The authority for year of release is the
Internet Movie Database, which seems to go by the film's first public
screening. Color coding is used to give an idea of how much I
like each film, and allows comparison between films in different years.
Unranked, uncolored films at the end of some years are simply a
reminder to myself of areas to explore, and do not belong on the lists.
