Worst Film

Attack The Block * (Review)

Note: The reason that some selections have higher star ratings, but lower positions has to do with replay value, entertainment value, credibility/deliverance within genre, etc.

I thought it would be fun to include all my previous Top Films since I started keeping track of them, when I used to work for Newbury Comics. Looking back at these, there are a bunch of titles that I would definitely shift to higher or lower positions, switch from Honorable Mentions to Top 10 and vice versa, but I decided to leave them untouched, for posterity's sake. The majority of them were spot on though, and I continue to love these films.
