A film for each year you are alive
I remember the 'An album a year for each year you are alive' thread to be really good, and I thought why not for films? There's a lot of film nerds on here who probably can remember the years films were released so I thought it might be a good idea to see people's lists. I know films by year aren't as well documented as albums, but it's worth a go.
91: Silence of the Lambs 92: Reservoir Dogs 93: True Romance 94: Pulp Fiction 95: Seven 96: Trainspotting 97: The Full Monty 98: American History X 99: American Beauty/Fight Club 00: Requiem For A Dream 01: Mulholland Drive 02: Catch Me If You Can 03: Lost In Translation 04: Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind 05: Walk The Line 06: The Departed 07: No Country For Old Men 08: Slumdog Millionare 09: Inglorious Basterds 10: Shutter Island (thus far, but it will probably be Inception soon.) |
I hope I don't repeat too often with your list.
91: Silence of the Lambs 92: Reservoir Dogs 93: Dazed and Confused 94: Pulp Fiction 95: Crumb 96: Fargo 97: Boogie Nights 98: Rushmore 99: Magnolia 00: In the Mood for Love 01: Tie between Mulholland Drive and The Royal Tenenbaums 02: Tie between Adaptation and City of God 03: American Splendor 04: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 05: I checked thoroughly and 2005 was the weakest year of the decade. I'll go with Good Night and Good Luck 06: Babel 07: There Will Be Blood 08: Man on Wire 09: Inglourious Basterds, even though I think Funny People is vastly underrated. 10: Probably Shutter Island, that's a safe one. |
92: Wayne's World
93: Robin Hood: Men In Tights 94: Stargate 95: Mortal Kombat 96: Scream 97: George Of The Jungle 98: Godzilla 99: Dogma 00: Cast Away 01: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider 02: Spider-man 03: School Of Rock 04: The Butterfly 05: Domino 06: Thank You For Smoking 07: Superbad 08: Religulous 09: Zombieland 10: The Crazies |

1990: Home Alone
1991: Boyz n the Hood 1992: Wayne's World 1993: Jurassic Park 1994: The Shawshank Redemption 1995: Se7en 1996: Trainspotting 1997: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery 1998: The Big Lebowski 1999: Sleepy Hollow 2000: Meet the Parents 2001: Ocean's Eleven 2002: One Hour Photo 2003: Bad Santa 2004: The Polar Express 2005: The Weather Man 2006: The Pursuit of Happyness 2007: Michael Clayton 2008: Pineapple Express 2009: The Hangover 2010: Never Let Me Go.. even though I haven't seen it. After checking wiki there's at least one review as of yet (by someone from the Daily Mail) and they call it "the most haunting film about love and death I've ever seen" which sounds about right. I hope I don't cry like a little girl when I see it but damn it's a depressing story. |
1991:Barton Fink
1992:Aladdin 1993:Naked 1994:The Shawshank Redemption 1995:Heat 1996:Swingers 1997:Boogie Nights 1998:Rushmore 1999:Three Kings 2000:Toy Story 2 2001:The Man Who Wasn't There 2002:About Schmidt 2003:City Of God 2004:American Spendour 2005:Brokeback Mountain 2006:The Lives Of Others 2007:Zodiac 2008:Slumdog Millionaire 2009:The Damned United I've come to the realisation of how far behind the curve I've fallen in my viewing. |
As always--not definitively favourites, but good ones that come to mind first for that year.
84 - Once Upon a Time in America 85 - Brazil 86 - Aliens 87 - Raising Arizona 88 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit? 89 - Crimes & Misdemeanors 90 - Goodfellas 91 - My Own Private Idaho 92 - Glengarry Glen Ross 93 - Dazed & Confused 94 - Three Colors: Red 95 - The Usual Suspects 96 - Lone Star 97 - Jackie Brown 98 - Rushmore 99 - Fight Club 00 - In the Mood for Love 01 - Mulholland Drive 02 - City of God 03 - The Return of the King 04 - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 05 - Sin City 06 - The Prestige 07 - There Will Be Blood 08 - The Dark Knight 09 - The Hurt Locker 10 - Kick-Ass (of what I've seen so far) |
Update:
91: Silence of the Lambs 92: Reservoir Dogs 93: Jurassic Park 94: Pulp Fiction 95: Seven 96: Trainspotting 97: The Full Monty 98: American History X 99: American Beauty/Fight Club 00: Requiem For A Dream 01: Mulholland Drive 02: Catch Me If You Can 03: Lost In Translation 04: Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind 05: Walk The Line 06: The Departed 07: No Country For Old Men 08: Slumdog Millionare 09: Inglourious Basterds 10: Inception |
90: Home Alone
91: Terminator 2: Judgment Day 92: Reservoir Dogs 93: Jurassic Park 94: Pulp Fiction 95: The Usual Suspects 96: The Rock 97: Starship Troopers 98: Saving Private Ryan 99: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut 00: The Patriot 01: Training Day 02: Minority Report 03: Bad Santa 04: Anchorman 05: Batman Begins 06: V for Vendetta 07: Knocked Up 08: Gran Torino 09: Inglourious Basterds 10: Inception 1994 and 2007 stand out as great years for movies. 1997 and 2003 sucked... |

edit: and do you like comedies at all? |
Quote:
I love comedies! I just think they're harder to come across. (Good ones anyway) The Hangover, Superbad, Adventureland, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Anchorman, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead... all really good. But favourites of their particular year? No. |

nope, i don't even know why either cos i'm definitely partial to some batman. batman begins was sublime but i guess i just never got round to watching the dark knight.

How can you get bored of watching films? :( they're a bit of an obsession at the moment, though I do go through cycles of watching absolutely loads to watching very few. |
yeah, i used to be a MAD film buff and then for a short period i just stopped watching films, i have no idea why. 2008 was around the time that i felt like that i think, which explains why i haven't seen the dark knight or benjamin button.

i may have to go back to talkies ..
