Fingers crossed this hasn't been done yet, couldn't find anything in the search facility.
I saw a great review on a website the other month that I though was a brilliant idea.
The idea is to list a movie you love for each year you've been alive that either means something to you or you can simply watch again and again without getting tired of it or maybe a milestone in your life. A bit like "The soundtrack to you life" but in film.
Rules
- 1 film per year NO MORE!
- You can edit your list but only put 1 film per year.
- No more than 1 film per year.
Couple of Resources
http://www.imdb.com/chart/top - scroll down, left had side, sort by decade.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki - simply search "year movies" e.g. 2001 movies.
Good luck, Ive just realise how rubbish films have become in the last decade and how difficult it is to choose films from the 80's and 90's, the best years in cinema.
Here's my Life In Film.
1977 - Star Wars
1978 - The Deer Hunter
1979 - Alien
1980 - Empire Strikes Back
1981 - Raiders of the Lost Ark
1982 - The Thing - Just got this on blu-ray, looks like new.
1983 - Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
1984 - Ghostbusters
1985 - The Goonies - I'm not really a BTTF kind of guy so Goonies it is.
1986 - Platoon
1987 - Planes, Trains & Automobiles - Candy & Martin just jelled in this, bloody ace.
1988 - Die Hard -
1989 - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - Xmas isn't the same without it.
1990 - Goodfellas
1991 - Terminator 2: Judgment Day
1992 - Reservoir Dogs
1993 - Jurassic Park - Proper action adventure, turn up your surround sound, on DTS its ace!
1994 - Dumb & Dumber - Close runner with Shawshank but I've watched this more, still makes me laugh today.
1995 - Casino - I like this more than Goodfellas, just can't explain why.
1996 - Trainspotting
1997 - Donnie Brasco
1998 - Saving Private Ryan - Took war movies to another level, apart from BofB's, no-ones quiet beat it imo.
1999 - The Matrix
2000 - Chopper - Eric Bana's performance blew me away, total nut job but you can't help but like him.
2001 - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
2002 - City of God - who'd have thought a foregin film could be so good, how small minded I used to be.
2003 - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
2004 - Crash
2005 - Batman Begins
2006 - The Departed
2007 - There Will Be Blood - Just seems to have something in it that movies have been missing for years?
2008 - The Dark Knight - I didn't want to have to put this but there wasn't anything else.
2009 - tbc so far Inglorious ********
Hopefully all of them are the correct year, I had 32 to do afterall haha
I'd lied to have added Jaws but then I'd be older
Good luck!
