Not a great year in terms of volume for me, averaging roughly 20 movies a month. That meant I had to be very careful with my viewings. And aside from the occasional side-step – Nukie and Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut – I managed to see some pretty great older movies.

The top 3 were so hard to separate as nothing I have seen this year has stuck with me more than these three movies. I could watch either of them again right now. In fact, I find these almost impossible to compile in order past the first 5 or 10, so don’t pay too much attention to the numbers as you go down. And there were far too many honourable mentions to list. Yes, even more than I already have.
