General: My Top 100 Films

This is a list of my top 100 films, as presented in my blog from 17th January 2021 to 14th September 2021. It's a provisional list, because new films are being released all the time, and I also change my mind about films. Think of it as my January 2021 list. That's when I finalised the list, but as I went through the countdown I realised that some films were too low or too high in the list. Nevertheless, I looked through the list today, and it's not a bad list. I won't do another countdown, but next year I'll start what I call a rolling top 100 film list. It'll be a list that I'll regularly update to reflect my current preferences.

These are the statistics for the nationality of the films. As expected, more than half of the films were made in America. Relevant is the country of production, not the spoken language. For instance, "Perfume" was made in Germany.

USA	58
Germany	11
Britain	7
China	7
Japan	6
Spain	3
Canada	2
France	2
Australia	1
Indonesia	1
Italy	1
New Zealand	1
