Coincidentally, the total number of films with two or more appearances equals 27 (or atleast until another user decides to contribute to this forum), so you could say it's as if we inadvertently created our own critcicker alternative to the top 25 films of the 21st Century. I must admit it has some surprising admissions, and even one from a filmmaker I've never even heard of before, but will certainly check out after this.
Some other trivia:
- Only Directors with more than one film are Abbas Kiarostami and Darren Aronofsky, both with 2 each.
-The Year with the most films is 2008, with 5, whereas 2005, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017 all have none.
- 16 of 27 films (or 59%) are English-language films. The next most-represented are French with 3, followed by Farsi with 2.
