Carrie (1976). It's a classic.

The Exorcist. 1973.

Heaven can Wait (1978)

“Downton Abbey”

War Games (1983)

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982)

All my favorite films came out the year before or after.

Buck never would have started a thread like this.

Ordinary People - 1980

The Shining - 1980

Heathers- 1989

1973-74

At the time my favorite was Conrack

Today it's The Conversation

Blazing Saddles (1974).

The Stuntman (1979-80)

R14 The Descent is very very good

Brokeback Mountain

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - Starring Donald Sutherland

The Craft, 1996.

A Passage to India (1984)

Dangerous Liaisons

Mean Girls

The Untouchables

Atlantic City 1981

"Reds", the life story of the communist journalist John Reed. I loved it at the time, but tried rewatching it a few years ago and thought it was horrible, except for the documentary portions featuring Reed's actual contemporaries speaking; a few excellent performances (not Beatty's); and the beautiful cinematography of Vittorio Storaro.

Tillie’s Punctured Romance

Titanic

Cocktail staring DL fave, Tammy Cruise. And Heathers came out in ‘88, R12. Get your shit together.

Say Anything for sure!

Less than zero. I have the biggest crush on Robert Downey jr.. so creepy now.

Fire Walk With Me 1992

Sixteen Candles (1984)

Mommie Dearest!

Birth of A Nation (1915)

Saturday Night Fever

Can't pick a favorite:

Steel Magnolias (Nov. '89)

She Devil (Dec. '89)

The War of the Roses (Dec. '89)

A Christmas Story - 1983

Million Dollar.Baby. But that might be the only one I saw that year.

Hoop Dreams (1994) - and I can care less about sports, but this was an amazing documentary.

Victor/Victoria or Fast Times at Ridgemont High

"Gone With The Wind" (re-issue) hee hee....

Favorite movie and year of birth. A two-fer OP, well done. Should pair nicely with your "first pet's name" thread.

Army of Darkness 1992

Birth of a Nation

Reality Bites | 1994

Clueless, doy

The classic Brokeback Mountain.

Don't ever use this question for password reset.

Woodstock (1970). I got loaded and went to see it rather than go to the boring Senior Prom.

The Hunger (1983)

Honorable Mention: Local Hero

Jeepers Creepers - loved it then and I still think it’s an original horror movie.

Gosford Park - I could watch this over and over and never tire of it. Love everything about it .

Chinatown (1974), with Lucy Mame a close second

Nothing jumped out of my memory for beloved movies of my high school years except "Fame," but that was the year before graduation. So I looked up 1981 movies and I saw several but the only one I remember really enjoying was "An American Werewolf in London." I saw "Raging Bull" on mushrooms but I think that was the previous year too.

"An American Werewolf in London" is a wonderful, funny, scary, sad horror movie, like "Carrie". It' holds up so much better than the prestige crap that wins awards and used to impress me.

Could you have at at least posted a picture or link OP? I mean would that have been so hard? Why don’t you try to think more of others next time before you post?

"American Splendor"

(Though "Finding Nemo" and "Lost In Translation" were close behind.)

Fuck Titanic. There was only one movie worth seeing multiple times in the theater in 1997.

Who graduated high school in 2001? People hardly remember films that came out that year.

R60, I did. It was a shitty year for film. 1999, 2000, and 2002 all had better films. Can I change my answer to 2001: A space odyssey?

R61, Y Tu Mama Tambien, one of my favorite films, came out in 2001.

R62, that was a good one! Young Gael Garcia Bernal was hot!

Also in 2001: Hedwig and the Angry Inch

My Own Private Idaho (1991)

2001 was "Mulholland Drive".

It’s a tossup between Hannah and Her Sisters and Little Shop of Horrors.

Other than that, 1986 was a terrible year for movies.

86=Sid and Nancy!

“The Young and the Hung” by William Higgins. 1988

R67, I watched Little Shop last night! What a great movie, I can't believe that Tisha Campbell and Tichina Arnold were teenagers when it filmed.

Alien—1979

All the President’s Men (1976)

Fast times at ridgemont high 1982

No no shitty CGI

All That Jazz-1980

wrath of Kahn - star trek - 1982

American Werewolf in London is a bona fide classic........stop arguing about this............accept it...............

Flashdance 1983

Superman the Movie.

Movie came out in December 1978, but I didn't graduate until May 1979.

Back to the Future - 1985

Bitch, bitch, bitch, R57. Can we have one thread where no one gets ass sideways to Sunday over something of no importance.

For 1971 (has it really been that long?), I'll have to name two:

- Fiddler on the Roof, which I actually saw when it came out

- A Clockwork Orange, which I like more, but didn't see for a few more years

Forget it, Jake. It's ...

Bore n Stroke was a cinematic masterpiece.

Body Heat - 1981.

R79- I saw Superman with my parents in December 1978. I was 13 years old. We all enjoyed it. I remember going into a variety store( remember those) and buying a jumbo Nestle's Crunch Bar or Mr. Goodbar and smuggling it into the theatre. Half of the fun of going to a movie when you're a kid is the treat you eat while watching the movie.

Comedy: Clueless

Drama: Seven

Arachnophobia

A Clockwork Orange (1971) McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971)

The Warriors (1979)

Deep Throat Part 2 (1974)

All That Jazz, 1979

I'd have to be split between Robin Hood : Men in Tights (watch it - it is God Damn hysterical), True Romance or the Joy Luck Club.

I know, I know. Schindler's List is a masterpiece, but it just too damn depressing to be a favorite.
