Top Ten of 1995: My Original List
U.S. Releases (Updated) // World Premieres (Updated) // My 1995 Oscar Ballot (Updated)
When I uploaded my first version of this website in January 1998, as a junior in college, I retroactively posted
Top 10 lists for the years 1995, 1996, and 1997. Attending university in a large city enabled enough filmgoing
opportunities that, for the first time, I could offer appraisals that weren't based on embarrassingly small fractions
of what got released in a given year. These original Top 10 lists were based on U.S. theatrical release dates.
