POSITIF magazine (France)
Positif, the great rival to Cahiers du Cinema, doesn't
actually compile "official" Top Tens. Instead, each issue has
a "Bloc Notes" section written by one of the magazine's critics,
and including - in the February issue of each year - that critic's favourites
from the previous year.
Since 1981, all end-of-the-year lists have been compiled by Michel
Ciment, the best-known of the Positif critics, except for 1982
when the "Bloc Notes" section - and therefore the annual list
- was written by Isabelle Jordan. The older 1965 list is also by
M. Ciment.
Thanks to the indefatigable
Steve Erickson for
tracking down and very kindly supplying most of the lists, as well as reader
Cédric G. for the 1982, 1989 and 1993 lists (plus corrections to a couple
of the others). The 2008 and 2010 lists were even more kindly supplied (upon request) by
Positif itself, while the 2011-15 lists are courtesy of the Toronto Film Review.
If anyone has any older lists,
please get in touch.
