1989
Field of Dreams, I was a week old when I went to see it.
Man, 1981 was pretty amazingly mediocre. I’m sure this is mostly my fault, as the only foreign (non-English) I’ve seen is Truffaut’s The Woman Next Door :)
Chariots of Fire
My Dinner With Andre
Brooklyn Bridge (Ken Burns)
Gallipoli
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Chosen
The Great Muppet Caper
They All Laughed
Time Bandits
1977
Opening Night
Eraserhead
Haven’t seen “Killer of Sheep” but would probably like it.
1987 doesn’t seem like such a weak year.
Hamlet Goes Business
Belly of an Architect
The Blind Owl
Yeelen
Under the Sun of Satan
Ishtar
Doc’s Kingdom
Evil Dead II
Walker
Mon Cas
Maybe not all undying classics, but “Yeelen” and “Doc’s Kingdom” are close. Not to mention all the incredibly ambitious films that I’m not an enormous fan of – “King Lear,” or “Zegen,” for example.
I was watching Sans Soleil yesterday and I noticed it was from the year I was born. :)
Since I’ve not seen many from my birthyear, I’ll just make a brief list of films which I look forward to seeing:
The Civil War
The Golden Boat
Il y a des Jours . . . et des Lunes
Innisfree
Jacques Rivette, le Veilleur
Korczak
Metropolitan
Milou en Mai
Mr. & Mrs. Bridge
Non, ou A Vã Glória de Mandar
Nouvelle Vague
Szürkület
To Sleep with Anger
Vincent & Theo
White Hunter Black Heart
S,
“The Civil War” by whom?
The Ken Burns film.
Scubadonc, nice list.
1989
The Abyss
Batman
Awesome. Just making sure. It’s been showing on Public Broadcasting here. I’m really impressed.
Why, was there another film released that year with the same title? ;)
I caught some of it on PBS several months back when they were ‘celebrating?’ the anniversary of the conflict. However, they had it on late at night and despite how good it was [I liked very much what I saw,] it was oddly enough very relaxing to go to sleep to.
:) I know, but there are so many films with the same titles. Garrison Keillor does some great voice overs for the Walt Whitman material. It was probably one of his VOs that put you to sleep.
1994:
Satantango
Chungking Express
Pulp Fiction
Erik Villasenor
1994:
Crumb
Chungking Express
Pulpfiction
Natural Born Killers
