My Life in Film: Part 1
A list of the movies that had some impact or has left me with a memory of some sort. I will break this up into chunks by decade.
1972 - The New Scooby Doo Movies
Although not really movies, this is what I watched every morning before school for a long time. This and the 1960s Batman television show.
To date, one of the scariest movies I have ever seen and I still will not watch devil possession movies because of this. No picture here because it was creeping me out.
1974 - Magnum Force
Dirty Harry Callahan...the first cop movie hero that wasn't really a hero in that he didn't follow the rules.
I've only seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show once, and that was THIS night...at a strip mall in Biloxi, MS at midnight in 1992.
Because it's Rocky and who didn't love Stallone movies of the 70s and 80s
1977 - Star Wars Episode IV
Remember when we all wondered why Star Wars started with Episode IV?
is this a boring and predictable list?
1978 - Superman
The original Christopher Reeve version of Superman is still one of the best Superman movies and it did not spend hours on the origin that everyone already knows. I'm stillreading new Superman comics today.
Although my obvious choice here would have been Star Trek: The Motion Picture, that was a REALLY boring movie. Escape fromAlcatraz was just pure gritty prison escape.
Is it possible that both of those movies came out the same year? I can't possibly be expected to pick just one and I don't have to. Best Star Wars movie and Best Superman.
Of all the movies in 1981, I only choose Raiders over Taps and Stripes because I remember going to see the first Indy flick with my grandmother. I actually didn't love the movie. Taps was a much better movie. Stripes was just funny.
1982 - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
So now I'll pull out Star Trek for my last pick of this decade...one of the best Trek movies of all time. But what about 48 Hours, First Blood, and Rocky III? This was a great movie year.
