"The Movies From Within My Lifetime" Discussion Thread

[Achim]

I thought we should have a separate discussion thread, as usual, especially to keep Pete's thread (where discussion is at now) cleaner. Here everyone can post a list of what they watch as we go along and, if a separate review thread exists, link to there. Or just discuss things otherwise...

The marathon rules are simple: Just watch a movie for each year of your life, starting with the year you were born (you can cheat on that one ) all the way to 2011. Some people may do it in sequence, others might decide to go randomly. No timeframe is set, although Pete suggested he wants to finish before the end of 2011.

I will use this post to show my list:

Achim, shouldn't this be the "discussion thread" and have a 2nd thread for only the movie lists?

I was wondering about that

Then I thought, once everyone has the list on page 1, maybe 2, the discussion can be in the same thread...

[addicted2dvd]

If I knew this idea was going to be such a hit I would have given everyone a chance to set up for it. 

Nah! We all know you're all selfish like. Just look at that mocking little tongue right there!

Does it matter that my thread has a slightly different title?  I call mine "The Movies Of My Life" which is what I was calling it the first time I started it...and I like that title.

Now why would that matter Roger?

[Dragonfire]

I'm claiming this spot for my list...that I'll start later..sometime.    
Hopefully I'll get started in the next few days.

Well I'm finally back to start a list.    Or at least a spot for the list.  At least it is progress.

Looks like I could go back as far as 1925 unbroken.  And with only 5 additions from my wishlist, to 1912.  

Much farther than my own birth year (1975).  Maybe I should do "Movies From Within My Mom's Lifetime" since she'll be watching them too... that'd take us as far back as 1946...  nah

Snap! I like the idea of this marathon. I might try and pick themes where possible. It would be interesting to see if I could match any important events with particular films, or at least pick films I associate with that time anyway...

Looking back on my still short list... I already picked some real stinkers of horror movies. I haven't gotten a single horror movie in that I liked yet!

[Mark Harrison]

I like this idea.  May have to consider doing it myself.  I have enough movies to cover me all the way back to 1926 I believe.  But it would also be fun to see what the big movies were for a particular year and see if there are any new titles I'd like in my collection.

[Jimmy]

I haven't gotten a single horror movie in that I liked yet!

It's because you don't choose the good one

1969 - Nightmare in Wax would have been a better choice
1971 - Even the cut version of The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave would have been a better choice
1973 - The cover scream bad movie (and most of those Rhino DVD are). Messiah of Evil is awesome, but the release you own doesn't give justice at the beauty of this movie. Try to get the Code Red release you will see one of the most beautifull horror movie ever made.

One advice for 1974 : Don't watch Curse of the Headless Horseman nothing happen in this film
