Last 50 Ratings of 2017
My last 50 review ratings of 2017 as of 31 Dec 2017. Beginning some 3056 films, videos later after my First 50 review ratings list from 1999. My review ratings are from actual viewings. They are not from 'click on a title and then hit rating' in order to artificially inflate the number of films reviewed.
