1975 Mini-List – Eligible Films

Below is a list of films you can vote for from this year. If you want to be able to vote for something that isn’t listed here, you need to ask me to add it to the list. The only reason I won’t do so is if I deem that it belongs in another year. I have my own curious system for assigning films to years, but rest assured that I will never let a film miss its chance to qualify in one year or another. I am the ultimate arbiter of year assignments.
