Lists: Favorite Movie From Every Year You've Been Alive

You know I had to do it after the music one.

This one was harder as it took me a day to pick out various movies from every year and a few days afterwords to narrow it down to one. 1985 was particularly difficult.

1977: Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope
1978: Superman: The Movie
1979: The Muppet Movie
1980: The Empire Strikes Back
1981: Superman II*
1982: Rocky III
1983: A Christmas Story
1984: The Karate Kid
1985: Back to the Future
1986: Aliens
1987: The Princess Bride
1988: Die Hard
1989: Say Anything...
1990: Quick Change
1991: Terminator 2 : Judgment Day
1992: Unforgiven
1993: Groundhog Day
1994: The Lion King
1995: Before Sunrise
1996: Trainspotting
1997: Chasing Amy
1998: Elizabeth
1999: Fight Club
2000: High Fidelity
2001: Hedwig and the Angry Inch
2002: Raising Victor Vargas
2003: Finding Nemo
2004: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2005: Brokeback Mountain
2006: Children of Men
2007: Lars and the Real Girl
2008 (so far): WALL·E

* I cheated a little because it came out in Australia in 1980 but in the US in 1981 so I didn't have to chose between my favorite Star Wars movie and my favorite Superman movie.

I created my own list at my blog, http://takemyblogplease.blogspot.com and surprisingly it's not exactly the same as yours. In fact, other than a bunch of 80's movies, I don't think we have one overlap. Enjoy being, by far, slightly wronger than I am.

I just saw Lars and the Real Girl. I don't think there's anything about it I didn't like.
