Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
Simple name your favorite movie from the year you were born. For those who wish to not reveal their true age can lie of course, but we can all hide behind our usernames.
I have a difficult choice. Two of my all time favorites come from this year.(1963) 8 1/2 Fellini Winter Light Bergman I would consider both for my top ten depending on my mood. I think I would have to go with what I think is the better film, and that would be Winter Light https://sanatkaravani.com/wp-content...24-620x400.jpg |

I have seen it but I have found I love films based off Thomas Hardy's novels. They are so depressing and touching as well.
Please note I did change my original comment from "I would definitely compare" to "I would definitely not compare". Julie Christie tops most of the actresses you can stack against her. |

Jackie Brown, maybe. Boogie Nights and L.A. Confidential are up there too.
P.S. I liked both version of those FFMC equally :shrug: |
Re: Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
Out of the Thomas Hardy novels to movie..I would say Jude The Obscure is my favorite. Then Tess D'uberville..

This is not Thomas Hardy, but I was wondering if you had seen "House of Mirth" with Gillian Anderson. Not to be watched if within reach of a fire arm. |
If I'm only allowed to pick one favorite, it would be The Glass Bottom Boat (1966)
Some of my other favorite movies from 1966 are: Penelope A Big Hand for the Little Lady Not with My Wife, You Don't! The Silencers Murderers' Row Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N. Batman: The Movie The Man Called Flintstone The Ugly Dachshund Walk Don't Run |

Sonatine and Schindler’s List.

Re: Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
A toss up in between The Terminator, and Paris, Texas. Anyone want to comment on which one they think is better?
|
Re: Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
I'd have to say In Cold Blood.
I also liked Bonnie & Clyde, The Dirty Dozen and Cool Hand Luke. |

To be honest, Batman: The Movie is terrible, but it's a lot of fun to watch. Frank Gorshin's The Riddler is one of my favorite Batman villains. I loved John Astin in "The Addams Family", but Gorshin's Riddler is by far the best version of that character. |
Re: Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
Without much thinking I'd say either one of these:
Picnic at Hanging Rock Monty Python and the Holy Grail There are some others I'd need to rewatch though (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Barry Lyndon are the first that come to mind) and probably some I'd need to see for the first time as well (at least Saló). |

It's okay to name all of your favorites from your birth year, but rank them if you can. 1) Winters Light 2) 8 1/2 |
Re: Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
The Terminator :cool:
|
Re: Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
Tie..... 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Oliver! (1968).
The former is the better movie but the latter is much more fun. :) |
|
Re: Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
Back To The Future or Rocky IV, very hard to decide.
|
|
Re: Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
The Evil Dead

A Comédia de Deus
Casino Se7en Braveheart Heat The Usual Suspects 12 Monkeys Dead Man Walking Die Hard The Quick and the Dead |
Re: Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
“The Devil's Backbone” is mine one of my favourite movie of all time because it contain great violence, gore and other scenes which I like the most.
|
Re: Name your favorite movie from the year you were born.
From top of my head:
Picnic at Hanging Rock Monty Python and the Holy Grail Shivers Would need to rewatch Barry Lyndon and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest but maybe them as well. |
Mine's Alien.
|
I'd have to go with Double Indemnity, although Arsenic and Old Lace is a close second. There probably won't be a lot of other films from 1944 mentioned here...:D

It's between two films from 1969, and I really can't decide which one. Maybe Butch and Sundance but it's microscopically close.

Pulp fiction has to be mine

I think I'd have to go with The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978).
