And favourite as in most watched- a 'go-to' movie or series. Not necessarily a quality judgement. Mine actually surprised me.

60's- Dr. No/Star Trek
70's- Superman: The Movie/Battlestar Galactica
80's- Blade Runner/Airwolf
90's- Terminator 2/Buffy The Vampire Slayer
00's- Iron Man/Firefly
10's- Wonder Woman/Eureka

No cheating! ONE each! ;)

    '00s: CASINO ROYALE/THE SOPRANOS
    '10s: DUNKIRK/THE AMERICANS

    A little unsure of the '10s. Slim pickings.

    At least we each have a Bond film in there somewhere!

    And I had an 80s battle between DH vs Raging Bull-- but I succumbed to this: I watch DH for escapism (fun), and RB, (probably my favorite film from the 80s), is anything but fun. But it is beautiful.

    Another fight I had was in the 00s for the same reason: Sopranos was my favorite show, but it depressed the hell out of me where--

    Dexter's stories were twisted and dark but didn't leave me feeling like I was Gandolfini's wheezing, uncomfortable and heavy breaths.

    This is a great thread and really had me stumped.

    90s: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery / The X-Files
    00s: Team America: World Police / The Sarah Jane Adventures

    Both R&H and QL span the end of one decade and the start of another, so I'm cheating a bit.

    Of course. I can quite imagine him saying, "It's not the age, it's the mileage."

    Interesting! I started watching when it was first on, then decided to just buy it when it came out on DVD, and never got to it. I think I need to fix that asap!
