List of your favourite movies per year of your lifetime!

[ManBurning]

Inspired by the post by @Failure (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=701) about the best albums per year of your lifetime, I figured... hey... what the heck, let's do one for movies! And I know ETS members can never resist a good list, so here are my favourite movies per ever year of my existence. As with my music list, the 90's were the hardest period to narrow down 1 movie per year, and the I struggled with coming up with anything for certain years of the '00s. But, here we go:

1983 - The Outsiders
1984 - Ghostbusters
1985 - Return to Oz

for most of this, i tried to pick the movie i actually enjoyed the most THAT YEAR, as opposed to looking back...that's why, for instance, TMNT edges out Dances With Wolves (although i DID love dances with wolves when i was eleven. but i hooted and hollered at the screen watching TMNT ;) ).
for years like 81 and 82, though, i HAD to look back, given my age.

thanks for this, ManBurning , and thanks for the other one, Failure . this has been fun :)
