That's not what this thread is asking. It's asking for your favorite movie from each year since you were born - as in what movie do you currently like the most from each of those years, not which movie you liked the most at the time.

I'm a real movie fan so I've been making top ten lists since I was one.

I was going to make a list of some absolute faves mixed with faves that are less talked about. Then I'm also considering a completely non-English language list of faves. We'll see.

1970? I was 12 in 1970.

I'll have to have a think about this cos like Mark my list will be pretty long!

I will do this later on, very fun. Didn't realize Holden and I had so many faves in common. Good on me.

There is probably no fitting time or place to say this, but since you brought it up again here, I must admit I'm still impressed of how much time you spend here and talk about movies while only being able to type one-handed. I'm pretty impressed and I admire the dedication. And all those movies you watch... dude...
