Dennis Grunes' 100 Greatest English-Language Films

Add to my lists | Print this list

This list is chronological, although if there are multiple entries for a given year I have ranked those entries, beginning with my favorite among them. The list reflects my one hundred favorite English-language films, then—at a particular moment, that is, on a particular day.
Again, one hundred is a finite, unforgiving number, and everything including the kitchen sink dramas from England can’t make it in.
Here are the one hundred films, then, by year, through 2005.
