Notes: The Viewed/Ranked for this year is a pretty strong crop (although I'm not particularly a fan of Clerks), with a number of films listed in Other Notable Releases (Crooklyn, Interview with the Vampire, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Road to Wellville, Speed) technically eligible for inclusion as well, held out only due to my sketchy memories of and/or incomplete experience with them.  I left out a bunch of other recognizable names in the latter listing in the interests of brevity.  As always, that's a list of movies I'd like to see at some later point.  Also, my listing of Forrest Gump below Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption should not be construed as a commentary on the Oscars debate.  They all three extremely notable movies for entirely different reasons.
