Movies Came Out In (1989) Winner: Driving Miss Daisy – Shockingly, I had never seen this movie until this quest. No particular reason, just never made time to watch it. I missed out.

Movies Came Out In (2012) Winner: Argo – Just okay, in my opinion. Worth watching, but didn’t excite me that much. A true story about the CIA posing as a film crew to rescue hostages during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. Amour – Wow, I did not enjoy this movie. Long and boring in my …

Movies Came Out In (1994) Winner: Forrest Gump – Amazing movie. I know some folks find it corny, I’m not one of them, I simply love it. The story of a “simple” man, from boyhood in the 50’s to life in the 90’s. I really love the story telling and filming of real events into …

Movies Came Out In (2009) Winner: The Hurt Locker – I liked it. Was a breakout role for Jeremy Renner. I haven’t watched it again, so I definitely didn’t love it. The subject matter is a bit heavy has it involves an American bomb squad soldier during the Iraq War who is a bit of …

Movies Came Out In (2014) Winner: Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) – Oh. My. God. This movie was awful. I can’t believe anyone would voluntarily watch this. I have no idea how it won.

Movies Came Out In (2007) Winner: No Country for Old Men – Did not like. Did not “get it”. Thought it was stupid. A hunter accidentally stumbles into the world of a drug deal gone bad near the Rio Grande river. Sounds pretty cool, right? Well, in my opinion, it was just weird and not …

Movies Came Out In (1992) Winner: Unforgiven – Saw this in the theater when it originally came out. I wasn’t very impressed then, and quite frankly I’ve watched it since, and still haven’t been impressed. It’s entertaining enough at times, but certainly drags for long periods. At the time, I felt like it was a …

Movies Came Out In (2000) Winner: Gladiator – One of my all-time favorite movies. Love everything about it. Seen it about 100 times, easily. In case you don’t know, a Roman general is cast-off, sent to die, by the new self-crowned emperor. General doesn’t die, becomes an enslaved gladiator, hell bent on revenge against the …

Movies Came Out In (2003) Winner: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – Very much enjoyed the finale in the trilogy. Gandalf, Aragorn, Sam, Frodo, etc… go up against Sauron and his army at Mount Doom with the one ring to rule them all. Action packed, satisfying conclusion to the story, …
