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):Carmen (Saura); Cujo (Teague);
Daughter of the Flame (Im); Doctor Detroit (Pressman);
The Dresser (Yates); Educating Rita (Gilbert); El
Norte (Nava); Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads (Lee);
Krull (Yates); L'Argent (Bresson); Life Is a Bed of
Roses (Resnais); Losin' It (Hanson); The Man With Two
Brains (Reiner); Max Dugan Returns (Ross); My Brother's
Wedding (Burnett); Never Say Never Again (Kershner);
Octopussy (Glen); Silkwood (Nichols); Strange Brew
(Thomas & Moranis); Sugar Cane Alley (Palcy); Superman III
(Lester); Terms of Endearment (Brooks); Trenchcoat
(Tuchner); Twilight Zone—The Movie
(Landis/Spielberg/Dante/Miller); Two of a Kind (Herzfeld);
Under Fire (Spottiswoode)
As yet unseen:Breathless (McBride);
Confidentially Yours (Truffaut); The Eighties (Akerman);
Erendira (Guerra); First Name: Carmen (Godard); Gorky
Park (Apted); Project A (Chan); The Story of Piera
(Ferreri); Streamers (Altman)
I occasionally write reviews of older movies, but it happens too infrequently to file them by year.
