Das ist eine höchst subjektive, ständig aktualisierte Zusammenstellung von den Jahreslisten der deutschen, britischen, amerikanischen und französischen Filmkritiker, die sich über die letzten Jahre oder Monate - das Internetzeitalter ist eine schnelllebige Zeit - als Säulen meines beschränkten Horizonts erwiesen haben. Dazu gibt es unter anderem die Geschmäcker von so genannten 'Berühmtheiten', welche in den meisten Fällen natürlich geschätzte Regisseure sind. Und nicht zu vergessen die Abstimmungen der Kritikervereinigungen und letzten Bastionen der Cinephilie. Wenn eine wertende Rangfolge angegeben war, sind die Filme durchnummeriert. Eine gesonderte Kategorie bekommen die Cine-Menschen gestiftet, die sich zu besonderen Lieblingen entwickelt haben.
