Someone just needs to make a thread called what is everyone's favorite movie for every year movies have existed and be done with it.

This was an INSANE year! And it was the first year that I really saw a lot of non-kids movies in theater. So, I'm going to limit my list to those I saw in the theater.

1. Apocalypse Now -- One of the greatest films ever made.
2. The Jerk -- Hey! When I was 11, this was FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!
3. All That Jazz -- I had no idea what it was about, but I knew I liked it.

4. 10 -- Well, obviously.
5. Breaking Away -- This made me want to be a runner. For about 3 days.

Scottie · 06-14-2014, 05:23 AM

Alien
Manhattan
The Brood
All That Jazz
Moonraker
Star Trek: The a Motion Picture
Time After Time
Murder by Decree
Phantasm
Last Embrace

Apocalypse Now seems an odd film to leave out, but it's a film which I can appreciate, but which I just don't love or enjoy re-watching.

Despite Alien being in my top ten of all time favourite films, 1979 is one of the lesser years of my favourite movie decade.
