• Movies are listed alphabetically within year viewed.
• Rare links to a page of brief commentary if I took the time
• My “Star” ratings preface each title, e.g. … 7*=Seven stars.
  ->I’ve been told I’m harsh with my ratings! (I softened in 2021)
• Seven stars ‘7*’ is considered watchable; Ten is for epics like Doctor Zhivago, which excels in history, acting, scenery, story, and score.
