Starting today and ending in the last week of every month through this November, I will be listing my 25 favorite movies of the last 25 years (five per month, listed in chronological order).

There are some excellent movies that didn’t make my final 25, and much of that is due to personal taste. As much as I respect “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, the films felt interchangeable and left me cold. The same goes for the “Harry Potter” franchise and the dozens of Marvel Cinematic Universe flicks.
