Best Movie Ranking for my Lifespan

T&A said:
I have never seen All about Bob, but since its a Bill Murray flick, and I like all the movies I've seen him in (one's on the list...), I will have to get around to it.

Its WHAT about Bob... you moron...

you had some good ones, especially in the early years. Apparently your taste became a bit warped in the late 90's and your picks started falling apart. (though you did have a couple blips in the late 80's).

Field of Dreams? LMAO...
Raising Arizona? Please
Sling Blade? good god....
Ocean's eleven? ... a horrid remake of the original

In my defense, the reason for such lame picks in the later years, is because they started making really crappy movies. That's not really MY fault. Field of Dreams... not the greatest movie of all time, I admit, but the plot was unique, the story was different, and it was entertaining. Look at what else I had to pick from in 1989... Batman? Dead Poets Society? Little Mermaid? Steel Magnolias?

Raising Arizona is probably one of the funniest movies of all time. Nicholas Cage was brilliant in a rare comedic role... I suppose I could have picked The Princess Bride or Dirty Dancing instead, or Full Metal Jacket, a movie that's been done a million times before. Sling Blade... one of Billy Bob Thornton's best performances! And yeah, the remake of Ocean's Eleven wasn't as good as the original, but I couldn't pick the original in 1960 and leave out Psycho!

The only movie I have seen recently that even holds a candle to the days of old, is The Blind Side... phenomenal movie, and I highly recommend, if you haven't seen it yet.

Indie and the Last Crusade was made in 1989..

If I were going to include an Indiana Jones movie in my list, it would have been Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) ...I think the only 'sequel' movie I put on my list was Dark Knight, and it was the exception to the rule, as movies go... by far, the best Batman movie.

Well, nothing against The Shining, but you could have put Empire Strikes Back down for 1980. Dark Knight is definitely a great movie, which I set a personal attendance record on seeing. But Last Crusade is truly a great sequel...

Are you insane? Raging Bull is the only candidate for 1980.

Are you insane? Raging Bull is the only candidate for best film in 1980 and in the top five of all time. The Blue Brothers is number two and Stardust Memories number three.

I can't believe you didn't pick Harold and Maude for 1970!
 
Also, IMDB lists Harold and Maude from 1971, and it damn sure wasn't better than Dirty Harry! I can't believe you Mott, Harold and Maude is a movie Waterhead would like!
