General: My Top 100 Films

Today I updated my top 100 films list for the first time in 18 months. By that, I mean that I updated it on my web site. I have a list on my computer that I update frequently. In the list I'm showing below, I've put the position in brackets that films had in my original list in 2021. It's mostly slight adjustments, but it's still interesting, to me at least. Please leave comments telling me what you think is too high, too low or missing. I'll take all constructive criticisms seriously, but at the end of the day, tastes differ. I'd be overjoyed to see comments with your own top 10, top 20 or any number.
