The Semi-Annual Top 25 Movies List

Every six months I make up a list of my top 25 films of all time. Despite the "all time" bit, the list does change significantly every time I make it. Certainly there's a certain arbitrary-ness to it, but hey... I've been doing it since 2001.

Format is Rank) Title (Director, Year) [Previous rank]

4) Amelie (Jeunet, 2001) [5]
