Pick a Film For Every Year You've Been Alive
 

So my final project for class is due later today but fuck that shit because I went and copied the A.V. Club again.

Same rules as the album thread: For every year you've been alive, pick a single movie released that year and put it into the correct slot. Your favorite movie then, your favorite movie now, doesn't matter, as long as you make the list according to the rules.

Mine:
1987 - Raising Arizona
1988 - Who Framed Roger Rabit
1989 - Heathers
1990 - Goodfellas
1991 - The Rocketeer
1992 - Wayne's World
1993 - Groundhog Day
1994 - Pulp Fiction
1995 - The Usual Suspects
1996 - Kingpin
1997 - Good Will Hunting
1998 - Saving Private Ryan
1999 - The Iron Giant
2000 - American Psycho
2001 - Memento
2002 - City of God
2003 - Finding Nemo
2004 - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2005 - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
2006 - The Prestige
2007 - No Country for Old Men
2008 - WALL-E or The Dark Knight

I went with more of a 'movies I could probably watch all day and not feel pissed off' slant with this list. It's a lot easier than the albums list as there's usually always something good each year to watch.

I was thinking about doing something like this for my entire list, but I got to 1996 and it was too depressing once I saw all the choices I had.
Damnit, I think this was the year Wikipedia switched its movie list format from alphabetical to chronological so my sensors were off, but this would probably be my choice for the year as well if I had seen it again recently. It does remind me that Memento needs to be properly installed as the 2001 slot thought.
Damnit, I need to watch this movie again. This is probably one of the poster children for the "Movies I watched the shit out of as a kid but now need to be reminded of who was in it and what it was actually about because all I can remember is that one part where they all sing the 'NA-nanana-nanana-NANANANA-uh-nanana' song" section of my brain. Stupid life, forcing me to know stupid college when I could be remembering Ferngully.

I actually had forgotten most of the movie until I saw it on a Wikipedia list for movies released in 92. Main reason I put it on the list is Tim Curry is the villian, and I loved it way back when.
