You and I share a good number of movies here. And we were born in the same generation.

This is going to take a bit of research. I'm just using Wikipedia's list, so a lot of obscure stuff is going to get passed over, along with the straight-to-video (this gets worse as the list enters the 2000s).

My list is clearly my favorites, not necessarily the best. As I went along, it became clear that what I was leaving out was generally just as good as my "favorite." Generally why I avoid lists like these. But, in the spirit of wasting time:

1978 - Dawn of the Dead, Romero - I was born the same year Dawn of the Dead was released. The stars, they shape my destiny.
1979 - Apocalypse Now, Coppola
1980 - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Kershner - Sorry, Herbie Goes Bana... I mean, The Shining. The Empire wins again!
1981 - Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Miller
1982 - Blade Runner, Scott
1983 - Videodrome, Cronenberg - A bad year for movies, but Cronenberg beats out Scarface and Jedi.
1984 - Ghostbusters, Reitman - Much better year.
1985 - Return of the Living Dead, O'Bannon - Sorry, Back to the Future.
1986 - One Crazy Summer, Holland - I'm probably the only one going to ever pick that movie for 1986.
1987 - The Princess Bride, Reiner - Holy cow, 1987 was an amazing year! Tough choice.
1988 - Akira, Ohtomo - Although I've watched Scrooged way more.
1989 - UHF, Levey - Wow. That was a terrible year.
1990 - Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Dante - Although Miller's Crossing is a close second.
1991 - Naked Lunch, Cronenberg - Would have been Terminator 2, if not for Edward Furlong's role.
1992 - Brain Dead (aka Dead Alive), Jackson - Special mention: Unforgiven and Twin Peaks.
1993 - A Bronx Tale, De Niro
1994 - Pulp Fiction, Tarantino - Whew! Thought I'd have to pick Forrest Gump for a second.
1995 - Dead Man, Jarmusch - Can not recommend this highly enough. (Sorry, 12 Monkeys.)
1996 - Fargo, Coen - Beats out The Stupids, but only by a little.
1997 - Men in Black, Sonnenfeld - Sorry, Lost Highway.
1998 - The Big Lebowski, Coen - Tough year for favorites, but a great year for movies.
1999 - The Matrix, Wachowski - Another good year. Still my favorite, although it seems dated now. I must be old.
2000 - O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Coen - Followed by a terrible year for movies.
2001 - The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, Jackson - Blew me away. Stunningly good.
2002 - Blade II, del Toro - Nobody understands genre like Guillermo del Toro.
2003 - Kill Bill Vol. 1, Tarantino
2004 - Shaun of the Dead, Wright - Pegg/Wright, killing me violently with their hilarious movie.
2005 - Sin City, Rodriguez/Miller
2006 - The Departed, Scorsese - Blech. Terrible year until the burst of a few good movies at the end.
2007 - Grindhouse, Rodriguez/Tarantino - But only the double-billing. Otherwise it was No Country for Old Men.
2008 - The Dark Knight, Nolan
2009 - Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino
2010 - Inception, Nolan - I also liked True Grit.
2011 - Hanna, Wright - From what I've seen so far, which isn't much.

This was a real wake up. I also discovered that in 2003, I stopped watching movies wholesale, and only watched older movies I wanted to see. Looking at the lists, there are very few newer movies I have seen or even heard of.

Thank goodness i'm young :tongueout:

1994 - Pulp Fiction
1995 - Gamera - Guardian of the Universe
1996 - Umm I can't really think of one
1997 - Star Wars was re released this year so i'm going to make that count.
1998 - Kinda a bad year...
1999 - Gamera 3
2000 - I'm not very good at this after all

2005 - King Kong
2006 - Nothing Memorable
2007 - hmmmm
2008 - The Dark Knight
2009 - What an awful year for movies. I guess ill have to go with my 2nd favorite Harry Potter Film Half Blood Prince
2010 - Toy Story 3, or Monsters i'm not sure
2011 - Hobo with a Shotgun! or The latest Harry Potter. This year has kinda been bad.

This is always fun to do. I'm going to change it up favorite sci-fi since I was born.

1981 - Escape From New York
1982 - John Carpenters The Thing TIE Blade Runner
1983 - Videodrome
1984 - Dune
1985 - Back to the Future......just over Brazil
1986 - Aliens
1987 - Robocop......just over Predator
1988 - Akira
1989 - The Abyss......just over Back to the Future Part II
1990 - Total Recall
1991 - Terminator 2: Judgment Day
1992 - Alien 3
1993 - Jurassic Park
1994 - Stargate......this was a bad year
1995 - 12 Monkeys
1996 - The Arrival
1997 - Contact.....Tough choice with Cube, Event Horizon, Gattaca, The Fifth Element and Starship Troppers
1998 - Dark City
1999 - The Matrix
2000 - Mission to Mars
2001 - AI
2002 - Solaris
2003 - X2

2006 - Children of Men
2007 - I Am Legend
2008 - WALL-E
2009 - Star Trek
2010 - Inception
