Honourable mentions:
Free Solo, You Were Never Really Here,…[Read more]

Based on our ratings, we already have 65 movies that have passed 5 ratings and the race to the top is quite tight as you can see below. If there are ones that you haven’t seen on this list, probably worth a watch! So without further ado, here they…[Read more]

You can do a post now and then put on new films later for sure! When you add them just make sure to do so in a separate post so I don’t miss them.

Regardless, I think this is John F…[Read more]
