It gives me a chance to write about some movies. It's interesting trivially and comparatively to see what movies came out at the same time, to see the progression of film history. And lists are just plain fun to argue over. They are meant to be conversation starters, not finishers. I don't have any particular criteria for what ranks above what, it's just my own subjective opinion, informed by a reasonable knowledge of film and film history (though not nearly what it should be, as you can see from the Unseen lists in the individual Movies Of The Year entries). <br /><br />The rankings change over time: when I see a new movie from a year I've already posted, I add it to The Big List here. Sometimes I'll see a movie again and my opinion of it will change, or my feelings about a film will evolve over time, and so I'll move it up or down its list here as well. The Big List is, and always will be, a work in progress."Sean Gilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124894627028920508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15283666.post-2949187433822098532010-02-01T10:35:59.883-08:002010-02-01T10:35:59.883-08:00Hi, Sean.

I'm supposing that some folks build their lists based solely on whether they "like" a movie or not, whereas others build theirs based on passionless artistic judgement, others on some mixture of the two, and others on some other parameters altogether.tifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06536869265208365290noreply@blogger.com
