My viewing for 2015 spanned from 1945 to 1954. I saw 508 movies this year, about 320 of which I had never seen before. There were many gems among them, far too many to include in a top ten list!
There were no new-to-me films that I rated 10/10. The 9/10 “new” films I did not have room for here were: Samurai Rebellion (1967); No Regrets for Our Youth (1946); Night and the City (1950); She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949); Red Army (2014); Twelve O’Clock High (1949); All My Sons (1948); Gate of Hell (1953); The Quiet Duel (1949); White Mane (1953); Morning for the Osone Family (1946); and Directed by John Ford (1971).
Many thanks to all of my readers. You keep it fun.
