Adjustments  — 1 year ago

Adjustments have been made for theatrically released films in the US in 2011 so that no films repeat on other years. For example the reason why Poetry, Incendies, I Saw The Devil and some others are higher on the list than on the MCN chart is because I added their accumlative points from previous years when they appeared on top tens, thus moving them up on the chart. This is so that no films repeat and so that extra films can be allowed into the 100. This also means that if some of these 2011 films repeat in 2012 or future years, they could potentially move up on the chart when points are added. Miss Bala will be released in 2012 so whatever points it will earn then will be added to the points it has already earned from 2011. Hope this makes sense. :) Also, if you interested in checking out years 2005-2010, you may do so through my home page. Enjoy!
