Good morning,
everyone! I haven’t had a lot of time
for blogging in the last week, for the dedicated six of you who have been
following me since I started this up.
The last week has been quite busy:
I’m going through the final proofreading stages of my next novel, THE INFINITE LEAGUE; I’m developing my
first graphic novel in nearly five years----and I’m very proud to say that I
was recently promoted at my casino job to floor supervisor. It’s been an exciting time.
Today, I wanted
to participate in something I’ve seen my friends doing lately. They’ve been listing their favorite movie for
every year since they’ve been born. Sounds fun, and for a cinematic whore like
me, I wanted to add my own list to the pile.
You know, just in case you care about that sort of thing.
There are plenty
of runner-ups, by the way. I have over
750 movies in my collection, and there are some years that have a lot of
winners. But here are the absolute
favorites movies I love to watch from every year that I was born.
Movies with an
asterisk are films that I didn’t see and/or appreciate until years later. I didn’t get to watch Blazing Saddles when I
was seven, obviously. But for some
reason, at age six, The Poseidon
Adventure was my absolutely favorite movie and would be until I saw Star
Wars. Never could explain why I loved
that schlocky survival adventure movie so much. I watched it religiously every
year when it was televised, I even had a set of View-Master reels. Maybe it was the early John Williams score.
Who knows.
Anyhoozle,

you want to share some of your favorites!
