Greetings, Glancers! We continue my new series of posts which will detail my favourite films of every year since 1950. Why 1950? Why 10? Why anything? Check out my original post here. As with most of these lists the numbering doesn’t really matter much, though in most cases the Number 1 will be my clear favourite. As I know there are plenty of Stats Nerds out there, I’ll add in some bonus crap at the bottom but the main purpose of these posts is to keep things short. So!
While 1994 had more absolute top favourites than any other year, 1995 actually had even more films I enjoyed – but not loved to the same extent. You know what that means – it’s another Top Twenty! First, here’s a few that missed out: The Addiction, The Basketball Diaries, Billy Madison, Dolores Claiborne, Leaving Las Vegas, Money Train

Great post 🙂 Glad to see Casino in there even though I would have personally ranked it much higher 🙂 Anyway, keep up the great work as always 🙂
Casino is one I always find myself rating alongside Goodfellas though, and as I love Goodfellas it probably knocks how I feel about Casino a little
