Seeing as I was 11 in 1989, I only came up with this list much later; it is a list I first attempted to make up in film school in 1995. I revisited it in 1999, after having seen some 20 (mostly international) films I hadn't before, and made my final list in September '99. Many categories had up to 50 ranks, but I narrowed them down here to reflect the other ones - simply by not posting the latter positions.
As for 1988, I had the benefit of retrospect, particularly for a film such as Parents.
Should you wish to look back at some of my previous lists, look no further than: 1988, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
