The Edge of Nowhere

It's that time of year. My top films of 2004, ranked, graded and sorted.

The first list is limited to the best of the 19 films I saw in the theaters (yes, I keep a list in my calendar…)(and "limited" is correct as you can see the types of films we tend to see skews towards a certain type of audience [of which we are members due to household demographics]). The second is all films I've seen this year (some of which may have come out in '03). The third list is movies I want to see, because as I think the first two lists make clear, I've missed quite a few potentially good movies.
