Here's a preliminary ranking of the 31 movies I saw this year at the Vancouver International Film Festival, with links to the write-ups I've done for them so far. I'll be writing about the rest of these over the next few weeks; the pace has slowed lately due to first a cold then parental responsibilities. Hopefully I'll be able to finish these by the end of the year.
