Film

Over the years for fun I was rating every movie I saw. I've moved the list here and kept it going. For fun I also made a list of all time films that made an impression, adding one every year. 

Please note that my ratings are not necessarily unequivocal recommendations. In fact, especially for those marked with an asterisk, check filmratings.com and use discernment, or email me if you have questions.
