The annual top ten lists of critic Jonathan Rosenbaum since 1974.

Note: As far as I can find, he didn't make a list from 1977-1980 or 1982-1986.

For lists made since 2005, I've used the following links:

http://www.wbez.org/episode-segments/2011-12-15/call-best-and-worst-year-global-film-94937#

In recent years he has sometimes created multiple, unique lists for different organizations - I've added all the films mentioned on the various lists for a given year.
