Despite all the dozens of lists of music and TV lists I've posted over the years, this is actually the first time I've ever posted any kind of ranked list of movies on here ever (part of it is I don't consider myself a film buff with a ton of confidence in my taste, part of it is that I don't go to the theater much so it'd be hard to do a year-end list in December). I've been slowly working on movie lists for different decades, though, those will happen eventually.
