We zijn inmiddels eind augustus en dus maakte ik – naar jaarlijkse gewoonte – een nieuwe filmtop. Ook dit jaar heb ik weer gigantisch veel films bekeken. Dat resulteert in 33 nieuwkomers, waaronder enkele klassiekers uit de vorige eeuw en één film uit 2016 (een echte aanrader overigens).
Zoals steeds zijn de verschuivingen ten opzichte van vorig jaar mee opgenomen in de lijst, net als het jaartal, de regisseur van de film en het land waaruit de film voortkomt.
Vorig jaar prijkte Into The Wild nog op één, maar dat is nu niet meer het geval. Dat komt omdat ik de films in mijn Movie Top 200 rangschik op basis van mijn buikgevoel, maar rekening houdend met acteerprestaties, verhaallijnen en het gebruikte beeldmateriaal. Om een quote uit één van de films uit mijn lijst te gebruiken: “This is my list. There are many like it, but this one is mine.”
