the year in pictures.

I'm almost certain these are all the flicks I've seen that were released in 1996 (not counting over a hundred rentals of older films on video). Note that the grades and overall rank might not mesh with the reviews I've written. This is because the following list is in one-hundred percent hindsight -- a movie I loved at the time may have left a bitter aftertaste, and a movie I hated could have grown on me.
