Favourite film for every year you've been alive.

[cybershot]

No idea if this will take off here.

I recently came across this on Twitter, Anyway, it was to list your favourite film that was released, for each of the years that you have been alive.

So nice and easy!!

For what it's worth as my original list caused a bit of hysteria. I'd listed some films differently to others. The reason was simple. I judged it by the year the film was released in the UK. Obviously back in 80s and 90s it could be months between a US and UK release. Frankly I'm not arsed how you want to do it, but the film must have been released in the US/UK/Wherever you live in that year!

I generally judged it by what film I've re-watched the most, rather than what may have been the best film that was released that year! With later years being more about what was the best as I haven't re-watched as much.

Haven't bothered with 2017 yet, as it probably won't be until this time next year that I've actually watched everything I want to watch that get released this calendar year, but feel free to include 2017 if you think you've got a runaway winner.

Oh this looks like fun! I'm coming back to this

 

[cybershot]

Indeed, I knew there was a worthwhile reason to continue to rate everything I've ever watched in IMDB, it made doing this much easier for me!

"look at me, I'm only 37"

I cant even think of 54 films that I like.

Heh, but my age sadly means I can't even include my favourite film of all time, because it was released before I was born!

Apart from 1999 which was a great year, 90’s is my least favorite decade for film. I like Terminator 2, Bound and A Simple Plan but they aren’t high on my all time favorites. I’m the 70s there are so many great films, others could have ended up as my pick.
