FILM RANKINGS
2007

[91 Films Screened]
2007 Reviews * 2007 Films Seen * 2007 Top 10 * Best of 2007 * Worst of 2007

The numbers I use to "rank" these films are merely arbitrary and should in no way be the definitive declaration of a film's worth. They are no more than a rather crass attempt at putting "order" to the cinema I watch and critique. In order to know what I truly think of any certain film, one needs only go to the reviews of said film(s) and read what I have written on them. But, with all that said, here are those arbitrary numbers anyway. Enjoy.
