Favorite Movie from the Year You Were Born

[Michigan Slice]

Quick search and it has to be Blazing Saddles.

Honorable mentions to The GodFather II and The Longest Yard

Blazing Saddles here as well

We must be looking at the same list, and I concur

Fun facts while looking up movies

1. I came across Gone in 60 seconds. I had no idea that movie with Nicolas Cage was a remake
2. I came across Flesh Gordon and thought it said Flash haha

About a month ago, I came across gone in 60 seconds (circa 1974) and was like WTF....

1980

Of course Caddyshack is on the list. I also have to put The Shining, Friday the 13th, and Stars Wars: Episode V. Pretty solid year for movies. There's also The Blues Brothers and Raging Bull which were really good too.

Not only from my birth year (1968) but one of my favorites regardless of year, Bullitt

 

[Nappy]

Apocalypse Now or Mad Max from 1979.

 

[SHIFTY]

1974- godfather II

Hmmm... Some decent ones for me to choose from...

The Godfather: Part II
Texax Chainsaw Massacre
Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
Murder on the Orient Express
Chinatown
Death Wish
The Great Gatsby

Without a doubt, I'd go with The Godfather: Part II

1981- Porky's (never was a Indiana Jones fan)

 

[PublicGolfer]

 

[Dartgod]

Hmmm, I may be old. These were among the top grossing films in 1961

The Absent-Minded Professor
One Hundred and One Dalmatians

 

[mancest]

1980 was a pretty great year for movies.

441 hit a few, but also Raging Bull, Blue Bros, The Shining and Airplane... Damn that is a lineup!

 

[SlightDraw]

Back to the Future, 1985

 

[RNG]

One of the best ever westerns made ; Shane!

 

[Drumdog]

The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

 

[TCB2010]

1980 "caddyshack" of course!

 

[campilobaxter]

Lots of great choices from 1979...

But I'm going to have to go with....

 

[SCme]

1974 here as well. I might have to go with either blazing saddles or the longest yard, but here are a bunch of good ones that year.


To those that have never seen the OG Gone in 60 Seconds, here’s my only advise, just remember that there is the best 40 minute car chase scene coming soon just keep watching.

 

[DufferToo]

There were several though The Longest Day or Dr. No are probably my favorites.

One of the best ever westerns made ; Shane!

The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

Thanks guys for making me feel young. :act-up:

I was inspired by the car thread so decided to see what movie holds up from the year you were born.

Proud to say this one has stood the test of time from 1978.

Think this one takes the title for '78 as well.

 

[Nerdy]

I have to disagree with my fellow 1981'ers a bit. The Cannonball Run is my choice.

 

[Lynchburg14]

1985 here are my top 3.

3. The Goonies
2. Back To The Future
1. Rocky IV I must break youuuuuuuu

 

[deuce]

It has to be The Godfather, but I also like The Poseidon Adventure.

I hate Tapatalk
