My Life in Films…

A sampling of some of my favorite films.

A few weeks ago someone posted on Twitter the following question: what is your favorite film from the year you were born?

Such an interesting query. I thought about it and wondered if I had even seen a film that had been released during my birth year. So, I looked up the films from that year and realized, wow, I have seen a number of films from 1971. Then, that quickly moved to considering what films I had enjoyed from other years of my early childhood. As I went thought the years and their films I noticed that it was actually a bit difficult to narrow it down to just a single favorite film from those years. Finally, I decided that it would be interesting, at least to me, to compile my favorite films from every year of my life.

The list below is what I came up with. Since I often found it difficult to choose just a single film from each year, I decided to choose my three favorite films from each year. Some years were much easier than others. A few years during the ’80s were especially tough because there were so many films then that I liked so much, choosing just three was nearly impossible. But I did it.

These are not my overall favorite films. A number of them I like a lot less than lots of movies that have not been included here. Those other films that did not make the cut were left off because they simply weren’t in my top three of their particular year. Also, in terms of release dates, I chose to use the date on which the film achieved a wide release. If a film was never released wide, I used the later of the limited release date, the premiere date, or the film festival date. However, if a film was never released theatrically, I used the date of its video/DVD release or its streaming premiere date. (All dates per IMDB.com.)

One additional note… There is only one film listed under 2018 because it’s the only film released this year that I’ve seen so far. I know, I’m a slacker this year.

I thoroughly enjoyed compiling this list. It taught me a little about myself and my tastes.
