Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
They published their list in response to the AFI's. It's unreasonably skewed towards films by and about women, but that ultimately makes for a more interesting list.
This list is not ranked and is shown by release year.
