Plain Old Tele Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Okay, so let's do this shindig again. Same standard rules as the 2007 list -- as per @grim22's Year-End Lists. Rank your top 25 of the year and PM your lists to Grim and myself. I'm sure much angst and consternation is on the way. P.S. After this, schedule and time permitting, we're going to jump a good ways back in time to 1987 -- to celebrate the 30th anniversary of that year. So fair warning, start watching all those 1987 releases. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rukaio101 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Wolf Children is probably going to be my No 1, so I'd appreciate knowing whether it counts as a 2012 release or not. Also, FYC: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go off strict US release date to determine eligibility, so if it didn't get a theatrical domestic release until 2013, it's a 2013 movie. (I just checked IMDB and for sure it's 2013, it didn't even screen at any US festivals until 2013 and didn't have a limited release until the fall.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
