I was curious to see what the top-rated movie of every year was on Letterboxd. And you know what? If you used this list as a sort of intro to the history of cinema syllabus ... you could do a lot worse.

Curiouser and curiouser!

The Abyss is now on Disney+ UK in 4K.

Park Road Post Production thanked in the credits for the 4k remaster.

Even curiouser it's the theatrical version not the Special Edition.

Curiouser still it includes the infamous rat scene banned in the UK.
