Ceremony Year (1979)
Movies Came Out In (1978) Winner: The Deer Hunter – Saw as an adult, super disturbing movie on many levels. Not one of my favorites if I’m being honest. The plot revolves around the lives of several men (Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken being 2 of the main actors) who’s Vietnam service change them …

Movies Came Out In (1973) Winner: The Sting – An absolute classic tale of a long con pulled off by two grifters that stands the test of time. Watched recently with my daughter and she enjoyed it, despite how old it is and the time period is old as well. Perfect Newman and Redford. American …
Ceremony Year (1981)
Movies Came Out In (1980) Winner: Ordinary People – So surprised this won. It was like a Lifetime movie, except long before Lifetime existed. Good story about an older son accidentally dying and a younger son surviving all while burdening a tremendous amount of guilt and the relationship between the parents & son really suffers, …
Ceremony Year (1997)
Movies Came Out In (1996) Winner: The English Patient – Never saw originally, just watched it recently, I thought it was just “ok”. Wasn’t really moved by it, one way or another. The story is told in flashback format and the basic plot is a badly burned pilot during World War II who gets involved …

Movies Came Out In (2001) Winner: A Beautiful Mind – A classic. Great acting all around in a true story about a brilliant mathematician John Nash and his struggles to cope with reality.

Ceremony Year (1994)
Movies Came Out In (1993) Winner: Schindler’s List – When Holocaust survivors state that this film depicts the reality of the events, then you know it’s the real deal. For me, this movie is everything. How could humans be so cruel to each other, and how could anyone survive such conditions, I’ll never understand. This …
Ceremony Year (1989)
Movies Came Out In (1988) Winner: Rain Man – A masterpiece, both in story and acting. Brilliant and stands the test of time (as I’ve rewatched fairly recently). The story is about a self-absorbed 20-something year old that finds out he has an older autistic brother that he is challenged with caring for. This is …
