I think you’ll find this list a bit more interesting and idiosyncratic than most of these kinds of things. Motley contributors include Richard T. Jameson, Kathleen Murphy, Dave McCoy, Kim Morgan, James Rocchi, Glenn Whipp, Sean Axmaker, Mary Pols, Don Kaye and me. Be sure to check out the individual lists here. Mine will no doubt be a little different for scanners — in part because I’ve seen (and re-seen) more movies since the deadline. (Spoiler note: The point total for “The Hurt Locker” was even higher than the one for “NCFOM” in 2007.)
