Re: AMF Top 250 Films of All Time (2022 Edition)

My own list is also dominated by older films, but that's because before 1980 most of my favorites made the cut, while in more recent decades many didn't. E.g. Black Swan; Blue Is the Warmest Color; The Skin I Live In; Lust, Caution etc.

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Summertime

AM lists this song as 1957, but it's on their 1959 album Porgy and Bess. Is there a source of a release before 1959? Otherwise this would be a mistake.

Re: How would you perception of the quality of decades change with a calendar adjustment?

Decades in my Album Top 1000 from last year:

1940s 007
1950s 064
1960s 124
1970s 185
1980s 174
1990s 161
2000s 150
2010s 129
2020s 006

And the adjusted decades:

1940s 006
1950s 019
1960s 109
1970s 175
1980s 175
1990s 165
2000s 154
2010s 143
2020s 054

So the eighties match up with the seventies.
