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 …

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 …

Barry Lyndon – Ok, a Stanley Kubrick film that wasn’t completely weird/bizarre.  The …

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 …
