for each decade rather than the &#8220;best&#8221;.\u00a0 The films picked are the ones I return to watch most often (in most cases&#8230; more on that later) Here is how our lists compared and then

I did this again I would in some cases select different films.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been thinking for a while now I would like to post a list of my top three favorite films for each year, taking them one
