Vader, that's a solid list. Glad to see more love for Bird's M:I entry. Still think it's one of the best action movies post 2000.

Rules: Only one film per series. If I enjoy multiple entries in a film series enough to warrant an appearance on the list,
then I only select the absolute favourite entry of mine.
Can not have been released in the last year. This is to avoid hype and ensure that a film actually stands up to the test of time.

Also, I don't like how you can't sort letterboxd lists in reverse order. I like counting down to number one.

Nice list. Glad I'm not the only one who loves Hot Fuzz.

Hot Fuzz is in my top 25 but i also need to see a lot of older movies (which I'm trying to do this year).
