Ok, as we enter our Top 10, here is our fifth pit stop...
Decade Breakdown
Very even batch this last one, as far as decades go. 2 from the 1970s, 3 from the 1980s, 2 from the 1990s, 2 from the 2000s, and 1 from the 1930s. That means that the 1980s stay comfortably ahead of the rest. Nothing pre-1920s and nothing post 2020s, which I guess was expected.
Recurring Directors
Two directors jump into the group with TWO films each in this last batch: Rob Reiner and Edgar Wright both had two films in the Top 20. Also, Chaplin gets what is probably his last one to stay at the top of the group.
Finally, one more foreign, if we want to count Hot Fuzz (UK), for a total of seven... and as @Holden Pike pointed out, no more animated films, so we stay at two at this point.
