Benj: Here's a query of general interest that only you could perform. What is the highest voted review of each release year? Obviously we can fill in a few of these, but I'd like to see the complete list. The list (from about 1890-2008) could look partially like this:
1978: Superman "'The Great S Cape'."
1979: Kramer vs. Kramer "I bet Kramer wins."
1984: Amadeus "Salieri has pianist envy."
1987: Jaws: The Revenge "Fin."
1992: Basic Instinct "Crossed, un-crossed, HELLO, crossed."
1997: Titanic "Icy dead people."
1998: Saving Private Ryan "Brother gets own bedroom."
1999: Blair Witch Project "Tense. Intense. In tents."
2000: Best In Show "'This Is Spaniel Tap."
2002: The Pianist "Schindler's Lizst."
2004: Passion of the Christ "Gory, gory, hallelujah."
Bet you can write up & execute the query within 5 minutes. |

Think how I feel- I only got one entry... and I run the bloody site. How feeble is that? I should at least fiddle the data or something... |

Wow! I have the only vote for 1904! The worst year EVER for fwfr reviews. It makes me feel so humble... 
And don't worry Tori, you're a well-balanced person so your votes are spread out more evenly than anyone else's.  |

Well, well, well! I'm on a list!
But if you had done this last week, I wouldn't be on the list because I only got votes for that review by putting it into the last FYC.
Thank you FYC, and thank you FWFRs everywhere!

Thanks Baffy!
I think these Yanks, bless them, probably just about get it. (Of course I consider you an honorary Brit.)
Some of them must have voted for this one:

However, more votes are still welcome.
