One Thousand Manny Perry Movie Club Movies

(Since 2004, I’ve participated in a weekly movie club, about which you can read more here. Recently, on the occasion of our 1000th movie, each of the club’s members filled out a ballot ranking our twenty favorite and least favorite movies from the entire array of choices. These are the thousand movies we’ve seen so far, along with the group’s year-end preferences. The brackets that commence midway through 2020 mark the beginning of the pandemic, when we began meeting virtually. You can find my twenty personal favorites out of the entire list of 1000 here, and the group’s consensus favorites are here.)
