"According to statista.com, there were 871 films released in Canada and the United States in 2018. But does that only account for North American films? And just the big budget bad boys? What about the little guys, the independent films? Or globe-trotting releases from foreign markets? And released where? For how long? Does a day count? What about those direct-to-streaming films? All of those amateurs out there uploading their films to Vimeo or YouTube or whatever? Those Neil Breens?
871? That's a bunch of hooey.
Even in North America, those 871 films had to be more like 871,000, and internationally there had to be like 871,000,000 films released. This is what it feels like inside the head of cinephiles, at least.
This list is going to include films (alphabetically) that stastica.com probably failed to include in any of their movie consensuses."
