Previous TSPDT 21st Century Films (sorted by most times in the top 250)
Favs/dislikes: 10:0. March 4, 2014 ex-Top 250 films sorted by most times that they made the top 250. Then listed alphabetically. 6 times = 1 to 4 5 times = 5 to 26 4 times = 27 to 41 3 times = 42 to 56 2 times = 57 to 96 1 time = 97 to 132 The 2014 list is the 7th version and therefore the below films can be thought of as making the list 6 out 7 times, 5 out of 7 times, etc. Also, it is worth noting that the original 21st century list came out in January 2008 and therefore films made before that date have an advantage. I still find this list to be useful and interesting. I hope you do too. -
