So Fandango Groover’s Movie Blog had a great idea of posting “A Life in Movies”. The idea is for every year that you’ve existed, for me from 1986, to pick a film personal to you.
What I tried to do is, even though there’re some more critically acclaimed films that I love now, I tried to select films that at the stage in my life in loved. So here’re my Life in Movies.
2010: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
2009: (500) Days of Summer
2008: Let the Right One In
2007: No Country for Old Men
2006: The Departed
2005: Batman Begins
2004: Million Dollar Baby
2003: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
2002: Spider-Man
2001: Ocean’s Eleven
2000: X-Men
1999: The Matrix
1998: Armageddon
1997: Men In Black
1996: Independence Day
Another great post related to the blogathon. Thanks for sharing.
PS Have included a Nolan film? Approved then :)
Ye, I had to figure out where I could fit him in, Batman Begins seems like the best shot
Wow, good list (except for "Armageddon" and "Hook").
how dare you say something bad about Armageddon & Hook… both amazing movies
I will loathe "Armageddon" as long as I lived but at least it wasn't "Pearl Harbor".
"Hook" just for me brings out the worst things I don't like about movies like Robin Williams as a man-child, overly sentimental storylines, and a barrage of cameos that doesn't do anything.
I saw it when I was 5 and I have VERY fond memories. I should revisit it and see how it holds up.
Not convinced by some if your 90’s choices but I love the early picks and 1999 onwards. Thanks for taking part.
What do you mean "not convinced"? I think the only pick from the 90s I didn't see in theatres was The Matrix, which I had to get a taped copy from a friend and hide and watch it because my parents didn't want me watching violent films like that
Don't agree, you show perfectly in here what a great decade the 90's were! Indenpendence day Yaj!!!
“Not convinced” as in I don’t really like them but its your list not mine! Thanks again for participating.
Oh. That's cool. It was just a weird way for you to say that. Anyways, it was a great excercise… reminded me so many movies that I need to revisit just so I can reconnect with a younger me.
