Title: A movie a year Post by: degston77 on March 25, 2017, 02:59:13 PM Was challenged by a friend to name my favourite movie from the year you were born, onwards.

Watched it today on a plane, not quite aware of the content! Enjoyed it, but not really one for a random stranger to be watching alongside you :) Title: Re: A movie a year Post by: 4KSuited on October 14, 2017, 07:34:36 AM 1982 The Thing caught my eye.
Absolutely love this film. Watched it many many times. Having a memory like a goldfish meant that I got the same enjoyment trying to work out who was going to be "overtaken" next, each time I watched it. Not sure I'd put it ahead of Blade Runner, though. And, Jeeeeez, was The Departed made in 2006?

How am I supposed to choose between Jaws, One flew over the cuckoo's nest and Monty Python's Life of Brian?

Pick Life of Brian Title: Re: A movie a year Post by: BulldozerD on October 16, 2017, 05:43:58 PM I think you mean holy grail, but I'd pick that too (if I was old enough)
Title: Re: A movie a year Post by: EvilPie on October 16, 2017, 07:20:48 PM I think you mean holy grail, but I'd pick that too (if I was old enough) You're correct on both counts, it has to be the winner. No idea why I wrote it down wrong.

No idea why I wrote it down wrong. Life of Brian is better than Holy Grail tho. One Flew over the cuckoos nest is v good. Not sure if Jaws has aged well, but also very good. Would choose all 3.

I only saw Jaws in the last 6 or 7 years and it has aged well, the bit where everybody jumps made me jump as much as everyone else did back in the day (as I understand it). Life of Brian is light years better than Grail, which is a superb film too. This scene is basically every political debate on Twitter these days: YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WboggjN_G-4 |
