For someone who has spent the better part of the last year reviewing movies, I actually hate ranking movies. When people ask me to name my favorite ... well, anything ... my default answer has always been "I don't have an absolute favorite." For the most part, there are far too many variables to make a truly objective list. Sure, you can make some calls about the relative quality of one film over another, but these tend to be generalizations at best. It is possible to have two radically different films, complete opposites in tone and subject, which are equally fantastic. So how do you rank one ahead of the other? Eventually it becomes an exercise in splitting hairs and semantics. To-may-to, To-mah-to.
