Movies Came Out In (1950) Winner: All About Eve – All About Eve – (winner) – Saw recently and I liked this movie quite a bit. Anne Baxter (Eve) does a great job of weaseling her way into the life/career of Bette Davis (Margo) in a very compelling and conniving manner. This is a movie …

Movies Came Out In (1966) Winner: A Man for All Seasons – Just watched this recently, and I’m rather amazed at how many movies there are about Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Cromwell, and this one specifically focusing on Thomas More. I liked it. It was a good length (about 2 hours), didn’t drag on, good …
Ceremony Year (1963)
Movies Came Out In (1962) Winner: Lawrence of Arabia – Enjoyed as a teenager when I watched it originally. Watched it recently, and while my wife absolutely hates this film, I still enjoy it, but have to admit it’s a bit on the long side as a British officer tries to unite competing Arabs tribes …
Ceremony Year (1966)
Movies Came Out In (1965) Winner: The Sound of Music – Have always enjoyed this film and even more so watching with my daughter. For those not in the know, the film is set during World War II, in Austria. Julie Andrews plays a wanna-be nun turned nanny to a group of children who’s widowed …
Ceremony Year (1973)
Movies Came Out In (1972) Winner: The Godfather – Perfect movie, perfect acting, a masterpiece, a classic, must see for everyone as it portrays the lives of a crime family in New York City. Cabaret – I really didn’t enjoy this film/musical very much. My wife said the actual musical is much better and more powerful. …
Ceremony Year (1984)
Movies Came Out In (1983) Winner: Terms of Endearment – A great film, makes me cry every time I watch it. My nana died around the time of me seeing this film when originally released, very emotional film for me. The story focuses on Debra Winger’s character looking for love, an “unpleasable” mother, and ultimately …
Ceremony Year (1964)
Movies Came Out In (1963) Winner: Tom Jones – Just watched this film, and disappointed to say that there’s no “What’s New Pussycat”, “Delilah” or “It’s Not Unusual” in it, lol. Ok, I’m jesting, this film has nothing to do with the legendary singer of the same name. It’s a strange comedy in which a …
Ceremony Year (1962)
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 …
