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, …
Ceremony Year (1971)
Movies Came Out In (1970) Winner: Patton – Just watched recently, nice portrayal of his life (controversial American General George Patton), but honestly it was pretty long and not very exciting at times. Airport – I had never seen this movie, which I would have thought at least one time while channel surfing as a kid …
Ceremony Year (1977)
Movies Came Out In (1976) Winner: Rocky – I always loved Rocky, the story of David vs Goliath in “boxing” format. However, I’m not sure it stands the test of time. I’ve watched with my daughter and she was bored to tears, and I’ve heard the same for others. But I still like it, even …
Ceremony Year (1987)
Movies Came Out In (1986) Winner: Platoon – Powerful film as it shows the Vietnam war from a young soldier’s view point and all the horrors and atrocities that occur. Seen many times. Really loved it, despite some disturbing moments. Children of a Lesser God – Never saw this film and never really knew what it …
