Getting close to the (initial) end of the Top 1000 list. The introduction is here and the rest of the list can be found by going here. Films through Inglourious Basterds (#174) are a 95 which is high ****. The rest are a 96. A 96 is, to me, worthy of a Best Picture win.

There are also a few films that come 5th in their years while the only actual Nighthawk winners in this post are all 95 films.
