I got this idea from my friend Kitty (whose blog is hysterical, even if you don't know her) who got it from a relative, who got it from, wherever. You can see where this is going. Credit belongs to someone for starting it, but I have no idea who to give it to. So...here goes, a list of my favorite movie from each year that I have been on this planet:
1978: Grease...this was a no-brainer for me!
1979:I've only seen it a couple of times, but I have to go with The Jerk, if nothing else cause I love Steve Martin.
1980:Airplane! Silliest movie ever!
1981:Have to go with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Nothing else on the list appealed to me.
1982:I loved E.T. when I got older, but I remember crying in the movie theatre when my parents took me to see it!
1983: I have to choose Return of the Jedi. Cassidy and I watched The Man with Two Brains about a bejillion times. That Steve Martin!:)
1984: Ghostbusters! Gremlins! The Karate Kid! Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! I can't decide! What a great year in movies!
1985: Back to the Future. No doubt about it. Although I did watch Clue on HBO countless times.
1986:Ferris Bueller's Day Off for sure. I also loved The Boy Who Could Fly, Labyrinth, Top Gun, and Little Shop of Horrors. Another big year!
1987:Dirty Dancing. First movie soundtrack I owned.
1988: Coming to America cause this was before Eddie Murphy became a jackass. Also Big. Gotta love old school Tom Hanks.
1989:Ok, clearly I can't pick one from each year! This year's picks are Back to the Future II, Ghostbusters II, The Little Mermaid, and Driving Miss Daisy.
1990: Ghost. I did it! I only picked one!
1991: Father of the Bride. Another Steve Martin fave
1992: The Bodyguard. Wayne's World. My Cousin Vinny. Single White Female. (stiletto to the eye, anyone?)
1993:The Nightmare Before Christmas. Groundhog Day. I love Bill Murray.
1994: ooh, too many! Forest Gump, The Santa Clause, Natural Born killers, Ace Ventura, The Shawshank Redemption....I could go on, but it's getting late...
1995: The American President. 9 Months. Clueless. Father of the Bride Part II, Toy Story, Sev7n, Mr. Holland's Opus
1996: The Birdcage. Jerry McGuire.
1997: Good Will Hunting. "How do ya like them apples?!" Austin Powers.
1998: There's Something About Mary and The Truman Show.
1999: The Matrix and American Beauty. Oh and Office Space! That is probably the funniest movie of all time in my book.
2000: Meet the Parents and The Family Man, in which Nicolas Cage is at his finest.
2001: Don't laugh, but I loved Save the Last Dance. Also The Wedding Planner, The Princess Diaries, and Legally Blonde. I said stop laughing!! Harry Potter and Shrek too.
2002: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. "Spray some Windex on it!"
2003: Something's Gotta Give, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and Freaky Friday...Lindsay Lohan was so cute and innocent back then! Mystic River broke my heart, and The School of Rock cracked me up.
2004: Mean Girls! ("Danny Devito!") The Notebook. 50 First Dates and National Treasure.
2005: I loved Guess Who (RIP Bernie Mac). Also Monster-In-Law and Hitch.
2006: The Pursuit of Happyness, The Devil Wears Prada (but the book was better!) and Dreamgirls.
2007: Knocked Up, Juno, and Hairspray.
2008: I haven't seen a whole lot this year (what, you think I am busy or something with 3 kids?!), but I loved Definitely, Maybe and Sex and the City.
