Films appear by IMDb date and therefore may appear in a different year than their American release.
Films not watched all the way from start to finish have not been included.
In some of the lists, there are films that have not been given a rating for a variety of reasons including:
* I do not remember the film well enough to rate it.
* I'm not sure if I watched the whole thing.
* I watched the film with an audio track in a language I do not speak.
* For whatever reason, applying a star rating to this particular film does not make sense (for example, Triumph of the Will and some of the very early silents).
