Because there are still many movies I want but have yet to see from last year. Mostly due to long Netflix waits or because they have still not opened where I live, I haven't seen Che, The Class, Happy-Go-Lucky, Miracle at St. Anna, My Winnipeg, Trouble the Water, Wall-E, Waltz with Bashir, Wendy & Lucy, What Doesn't Kill You, etc.
Anyway, here's my compromised first draft (out of 62 films):
