| Many of the Films Watched 2000 |
| In 2000 I wasn't keeping a record of all films watched. This list does not include the Academy foreign language film screenings. |
| However, it does include many of the festivals I atteded during the year. The 245 films here are about 50% of films watched. |
| All films based on **** being best. However, many ratings are approximations since I wasn't keeping contemporary records. |
