- Movies are listed alphabetically within year viewed.
- Some are linked to a page of brief commentary.
- 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) - ‘Ten stars’ is for epics like Doctor Zhivago, which excels in history, acting, scenery, story, and score.
