Movies Came Out In (1961) Winner: West Side Story – Just watched recently with my wife & daughter. This one was a hard one for me to get through. It was so cornball and cheesy with the premise, that it was very hard to stomach at times for me (and my daughter particularly disliked). Some …

Ceremony Year (1965)
Movies Came Out In (1964) Winner: My Fair Lady – I have never seen this until recently (watched on TCM). I was disappointed, and surprised this was a winner. To me, none of the songs were super memorable (though I did slightly recognize some). I had to turn on the closed captions to understand what …

Ceremony Year (1970)
Movies Came Out In (1969) Winner: Midnight Cowboy – Saw this when I was a teenager, really did not like this movie. I love the hit song “Everybody’s Talkin’” but that’s about it for me and this movie which involves an unlikely friendship of two fellows that are looking to get rich in life. Anne …
Ceremony Year (1972)
Movies Came Out In (1971) Winner: The French Connection – I enjoyed this film quite a bit. Saw as a kid, and as an adult. Somewhat paved the road for modern thrillers, as the story involves a couple of New York City cops uncovering a narcotics deal involving a foreign connection (France). A Clockwork Orange …

Ceremony Year (1978)
Movies Came Out In (1977) Winner: Annie Hall – Saw recently, and enjoyed it. It was pretty funny and a good story, but winner? Not in my opinion. Woody Allen’s “character” falls in love with somewhat of a ditzy character (Annie Hall) played by Diane Keaton. Allen’s character has most of the funny lines in …
Ceremony Year (1969)
Movies Came Out In (1968) Winner: Oliver! – Had never seen this (which is surprising b/c it seemed like the type of movie that would have been shown in school – music class, rainy days, etc…), until I watched it on TCM. It was pretty good. Musicals usually aren’t my thing, but I didn’t mind …
Ceremony Year (1988)
Movies Came Out In (1987) Winner: The Last Emperor – Never saw this film until recently. A very interesting story about the last emperor of China and the ordeal that he went through. It was a pretty engaging movie and compelling way to learn about the history. It was a tad on the long side, …
