Critic Consensus Top 40 Films (2002-2008)

Having already completed the Critic Consensus's from 2002 to 2008, it's only natural that I made a list detailing the Critic Consensus Top 40 Films.

Unfortunately, the numbers for 2001 are not readily available and, of course, 2009 is just underway, so this list will only comprise the last 7 years.

40. "Babel" (109, 2006)
39. "Once" (113, 2007)
38. "LOTR: The Two Towers" (115, 2002)
37. "Master and Commander" (116, 2003)
36. "The Squid and The Whale" (117, 2005)
35. "Happy-Go Lucky" (122, 2008)
34. "Children of Men" (123, 2006)

2. "Lost in Translation" (284, 2003)
1. "No Country For Old Men" (300, 2007)

Breaking down the numbers, it looks like 2002 had 4 entries, 2003 (7), 2004 (5), 2005 (3), 2006 (9), 2007 (6), 2008 (6).

This will be the last Critic Consensus blog-post until next year.

For some, it is a sad day, even sadder than the day after Thanksgiving, after having gained multiple pounds and still knowing that there will be another month of weight gain to look forward to!

For others, it is a happy day, finally, Continuity Film will be talking about films without gumming up all the works with crazy numbers, stats, and rambling rants.

For me, it was fun. It was fun to blend my interest in film and my addiction to numbers.

At times, it felt like I was squeezing the last remnants out of a bottle of toothpaste, you know what I mean, when you curl it, and curl it, and you have to squeeze with two hands just to get a pitiful drop that is barely enough to brush your teeth in the morning and then your wife reprimands you for throwing away a "perfectly good bottle" after you've almost broken your index finger squeezing so damn hard.

No, she's not a witch, she's my wife.

True love.
