Avenging-Hobbits' Top 25 Films of the Past 25 Years · 2:00am Oct 25th, 2015

Recently, IMDb has published a list of what its user’s believe to be the Top 25 films of the past 25 years. Suffice to say, its a bit uneven, considering that IMDb ranks movies by user votes. This means a film like The Avengers gets a rating of 8.1, while a film The Master gets a rating of 7.1.

Anyways, I figured I’d join in the fun, and make my own list.

Please note that, like anything created by a single person, this list is VERY subjective, and therefore might not be the same as someone else’s list. But I hope I was able to balance subjectivity and objectivity as best as anyone could possibly do on their own.

Anyways, without further ado, here’s the list under the cut:
