The subseries includes typescript lists of Sandford's annual choices of the best and worst motion pictures compiled from his handwritten lists. Sandford recorded chronological lists of motion pictures by date or year watched or year nominated for an award. He assembled these lists from spiral bound notebooks that recorded all the cultural events he attended in a calendar year. Sandford also transcribed lists of nominated and award winning films from various organizations such as the press, film festivals, and foreign academies.
