During the last week of every month through this November, I'll be listing my 25 favorite movies of the last 25 years (five per month, listed in chronological order).

This month’s titles are distinguishable from all other sets in this series because it also includes the most (two) Academy Award Best Picture winners. Other than most critics and movie nerds, a Best Picture Oscar means little to most of us so it’s rare when we (meaning me) agree with the winning choice. To have two of these occur in a single five-year period has never happened before and likely will never happen to me again. Also, this set contains the sole documentary on the list.

‘Looper’ (2012)
