Favourite FIlm for Every Year You've Been Alive

[moreorless87]

Nicked from another website and pretty straight forward, whats your favourite film for every year since your birth? Actually ends up being quite interesting I'd say since some years I ended up being choosing between favourites, others end up choosing stuff I wouldn't typically consider to be right at the top of my favourite films. Eyes Wide Shut for example I'd probably pick behind The Shinning and Full Metal Jacket yet those films came out in much stronger years for cinema IMHO.

1978 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers
1979 - Stalker
1980 - The Empire Strikes Back
1981 - Raiders of the Lost Ark
1982 - Blade Runner
1983 - Rumblefish
1984 - Once Upon A Time In America
1985 - Ran
1986 - Betty Blue
1987 - Withnail and I
1988 - A Short Film About Killing
1989 - The Cook, The Thief His Wife And Her Lover
1990 - Millers Crossing
1991 - Terminator 2
1992 - Porco Rosso
1993 - Groundhog Day
1994 - Pulp FIction
1995 - 12 Monkeys
1996 - Bound
1997 - Grosse Point Blank
1998 - The Big Lebowski
1999 - Eyes Wide Shut
2000 - Werckmeister Harmonies
2001 - Mulholland Drive
2002 - MIllenium Actress
2003 - Return of the King
2004 - Birth
2005 - Thank You For Smoking
2006 - Apocalypto
2007 - No Country For Old Men
2008 - In Bruge
2009 - Moon
2010 - 13 Assasins
2011 - Drive
2012 - The Master
2013 - Blue Is The Warmest Colour
2014 - Under The Skin
2015 - Mad Max: Fury Road
2016 - The Hateful Eight
2017 - You Were Never Really There
2018 - Avengers: Infinity War

Probably the case in the last 2-3 years there's a good deal of stuff I haven't seen yet that might take over, especially this year where I'v not been keeping up much.

What kind of person remembers what yr each movie was or possesses a list of every movie from a particular yr?

I now remember my first computer came with free software that had all sorts of trivia/database stuff on movies.

Fargo?

Good but overrated... not as good as Thesis.

Primal Fear?

I remember thinking it was pretty average outside some good performances. Can't remember much more though.

I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person who thought Miller's Crossing was not a good movie. I've seen much better acting from Gabriel Byrne and Marcia Gay Harden.

[Milgrim]

Not keen to list fifty films, sorry.

I do really like your choices though.

I'm 49. I'm getting too old for this shit.

Eyes Wide Shut for example I'd probably pick behind The Shinning and Full Metal Jacket yet those films came out in much stronger years for cinema IMHO.

The Shinning?
