NOTE: These listings pages are sorted by the year of a film's first public release, not (as is often the practice at this site and elsewhere on the Web) by the year of U.S. release or even New York release. Generally, this will also correspond to a film's IMDb date. There are plenty of holes in the data; I'll be working slowly at adding at least my favorite films from each year into the database. You can see recent top-10 lists, based on New York release dates, here.
