2003 Films From Best To Worst
In my own opinion of course, and featuring all films released in 2003 I've currently seen. As such, this is an ever-evolving list, but as it currently stands, I consider numbers 1-16 superb, 17-36 truly great films just short of excellence, 37-53 perfectly solid entertaining films, 54-85 also entertaining but progressively less, and the rest rather bad.
