This year, every single finalist for my list of the year’s best surfaced at a major festival and, in most cases, found its way to theaters later on. The film festival circuit provides an ideal alternative to conventional channels for discovering movies worth talking about all year long - and, if they’re lucky enough to land distribution, they quality for year-end celebration on lists like this one.

For those interested in understanding more about the ranking process and the limitations of this exercise in general, make a quick detour here. The list of notable omissions is dotted with players both well regarded and largely deserving, though lines ultimately had to be drawn somewhere-in many cases based on extremely minor differences. Naturally, rounding out the top 100 included some tough calls.
