I'm surprised Possessed didn't make the cut there.

Thief is one of my all time favourite films. Phenomenal film.

1977? Well, my #1 movie is obvious. Kingdom of the Spiders.

Kidding. Honestly, I've barely even seen 5 movies from that year. Star Wars is definitely #1. I guess Saturday Night Fever, The Kentucky Fried Movie, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind(which I haven't seen since I was a kid, so I barely remember it) would complete my list.

[Cremildo]

1. Aliens
2. Blue Velvet
3. Hannah and Her Sisters
4. El Amor Brujo
5. The Sacrifice

Yeah, not the best year.

Annie Hall and 3 Women stand out. Some might say Suspiria and Eraserhead.

I saw Annie Hall in the late 90's. Didn't care for it much, at least compared to other Woody Allen movies I'd already seen(by comparison, I loved Bananas). I tried watching Suspiria maybe 15 years ago and couldn't get into it at all after 20-30 minutes. I own the Criterion Eraserhead, but never got around to watching it.

For me, choosing between Annie Hall and Star Wars is like choosing between your kids. Ugh.
