Mike D'Angelo's Top Films

I compiled from his site the films that Mike D'Angelo gives 82+/100, or A- and above. Here is the order method of how I add films to the list (it's also the order sequence of how I rank films that have, or are assumed to have, the same score point):

1. "Older Movies By Letter Grade" page.

2. His unrated films, using the approximate ~ scores in "Master List by Director" page.

3. His unrated films, using the yearly top 10s, in which I assumed for the lowest possible score by the first rated film directly below them (for example in 1963 here, both The Great Escape and The Servant would be assumed as 84/100 for the purpose of this letterboxd list, and placed in that order).

4. His rated newer films (around 2002+).
