I have a three way tie for favorite movie year - all in the 1970s.
1974 Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore Blazing Saddles Chinatown The Conversation The Godfather: Part II Lenny The Parallax View Young Frankenstein
1976 All the President's Men Carrie Marathon Man Network Taxi Driver
1979 All That Jazz Being There Breaking Away Kramer vs Kramer Life of Brian Norma Rae
In my opinion, the 70s was the BEST movie decade. The above list doesn't even come close to naming all the great films that were release in that decade.
All That Jazz plays on TV a lot though, so I should be able to catch that soon. The rest, for DVD. I've liked the vast majority of those 12 movies anyways! The Omen is awesome, Kramer vs Kramer was wonderful, The Godfather movies naturally rocked. I'm looking forward to seeing more from that year!
You should look for the "Monty Python Sings" CD. It's got lots of goodies on it.
I don't really have a favorite movie year.....but then I don't really keep track of what years my favorite movies came from, so. Anyways. You still need to see "Hudson Hawk". Go. Find. Rent. Watch.
Hmm....."Interview With the Vampire". I liked that movie. And I realize I'm about to send every Anne Rice fan in existence into apoplectic fits, but I couldn't stand the book. It was quite possibly the slowest piece of fiction I have ever tried to plow my way through.....and I read a LOT. It was just something about her writing style that drove me absolutely crazy. I think I may be spoiled by all the Mercedes Lackey I read.......
LOL, you really don't like Anne Rice much do you! :p
Don't ever read Silas Marner. *That* was slow. And That Hideous Strength by C.S.Lewis took me over 3 weeks (which is how long library rentals last) so I had to take that back before finishing it. Another slow one.
Ok, Hudson Hawk has just moved up 100 places on my DVD priority list, so unless someone else is keeping it for a while, I should get it next week. :)
Your tutorial problem is like mine. If it wasn't for the film tut on Friday I wouldn't even have to come in to university. Except I do because it's a film tut and the only thing I really don't want to miss.

I don't think I have a favourite movie year. Can't really remember the years for most films.
Ok then... here's what to do. Make a list in a notepad of all the films you've seen. Spend and entire night copying and pasting the film titles into IMDB, check the year, and then paste the name into a another notepad that's separated into years. I swear, it's relaxing fun. Ok, perhaps it's not normal people's idea of relaxing fun. *g*
Tell you what, if you make a list of all the films you've seen, and send it to me, I'll organise them all into years for you. I really enjoy doing it, honestly. *g* And then you'll be able to choose your favourite movie year. :p
I don't think I can remember all the films I've seen. I guess I could start with the list of films we have on tape (cut out the few I haven't seen) and try remembering.
But you don't want to waste your time organising them! How many films have you seen?
LOL, I so do wanna waste my time organising them. *g* So much so, I won't even consider it wasting time! :p
The thing is, even if you start making the list, it's next to impossible to remember all the films you've seen - I'm still adding new movies I saw when I was a kid if something reminds me of them. But yes, your video collection would be a good place to start. *g*
I've seen only 555 movies. :) Bet you've seen double that! *g*
I can't believe you know things like 'I have seen 97 movies from 2001'. I can't name one movie I saw from 2001. Although I am sure there were many.
Early starts are evil. I am glad my uni job (which I have yet to restart) does not involve early mornings. Well, technically I guess it does, but at least the early mornings come at the end of the shift, and not the start... *g*
