Film of the Year 🏆
Taking the idea from a list by LSWoods, I am making this list featuring my favourite film of each year. No doubt this list will change; as I watch more and more movies, something may get supplanted as my fave of that year. Already, on more than several occasions, my heart has been broken choosing only ONE film per year! From time to time, when the need arises, there will be a challenger to a current defending champion for film of that year. When a current film of the year is challenged, that will appear in the comment section and the list will be changed (or not) depending on the results of that challenge. But for now, here is a list of my favourite film from every year of cinema (more or less). . .
