    1969....

    OHMSS
    Italian Job
    Battle of Britain

    Very close honourable mentions go to Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid, Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy, True Grit & Kes. Raspberry goes to Carry On Camping!

    Also - Where Eagles Dare - was issued in the USA in 1969 but first release was December 1968 in UK. If was first released in 1969 then it would most definitely pushed Battle of Britian out of the Top 3!

    Indeed! Welcome aboard :)

    1988, I guess it'll have to be a trio of Die Hard, The Naked Gun and Rain Man

    Nevertheless I agree about the General.

    And how cool would it have been to have an 85 year old amongst us, mods. :)

    The way Dimi is a fearless and ruthless mod here, he will have a heart attack and be stone dead at age 50...

    Is Nosferatu the best film from your year of birth? :D

    Thanks Nic. :)


    Seeing a few others born in the 60s makes me feel good.

    1980 was a golden year for comedy films.

    No, but I almost listed that one! ;)
    OK, here is one film from the year I was born (hoping I would have seen somebody older, or as old, as me by now ...) sigh ...
    To Catch a Thief

    1972

    1. Godfather
    2. Last Tango in Paris
    3. Heartbreak Kid

    Not to mention a great year for Italian gialli films, which are too many to mention. Unfortunately Live and Let Die would be the following year.

    The Year: 1987

    A year that provided some of the finest movies of all time ... ...

    1. Predator - Probably the finest science fiction movie of all time (closely followed by John Carpenter's The Thing)

    2. Full Metal Jacket - Certainly in the top 10 war movies of all time (Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam war production)

    3. The Living Daylights - A respectable James Bond production (Timothy Dalton debut)

    Incidently The Untouchables and Lethal Weapon were also made in 1987.

    You're still younger than my father and mother ;) So don't feel too bad. They also dig Bond. Of course not as much as I do.

  • QBranchQBranch Always have an escape plan. Mine is watching James Bond films.

    1983

    Octopussy
    The Man With Two Brains
    National Lampoons Vacation

    I love all these but it seems 1983 was a better year for films!
