What is a memorable movie from the year of your birth?

I am always gleeful to note that my older sibling was born in 1985, while I was born in 1989, and my younger sibling a year later, 1990: Back to the Future, Back to the Future II, and Back to the Future III. That’s my piece of useless trivia about our birth order.

Rebel Without a Cause.

”Aerrunggokho dzaeue totukhkhi”.
It was quite compelling.

“The Big Sleep”, which in 1997 the U.S. Library of Congress deemed the film “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant,” and added it to the National Film Registry.

From 1951:
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Strangers on a Train
A Streetcar Named Desire
Alice in Wonderland
The African Queen
An American in Paris
A Place in the Sun

It was a very good year for great movies!

Braveheart or Toy Story…

The Third Man.

Limiting myself to what was probably in theaters at the time of my birth…

Clue
101 Dalmatians (animated)
Young Sherlock Holmes
Revolution
Brazil
A Chorus Line

And released on my birthday, some flick called Murphy’s Romance.

OK, this is depressing!

Random: Tarzan`s Fight For Life :) It was even in, gasp color!

Space Odyssey 2001. Niiiiiiiice…! Also, on the day of my birth, three famous Hollywood directors rode on camels and brought me gifts. heh heh

Conan the Barbarian. The original one, wasn’t born two years ago, lol.
Love the original to no end, although I admit, the musical score by Basil Poledouris greatly enhanced what it essentially a rather poor adaptation of the novels. But I never read the novels until later, and I don’t care how cheesy the movie is, I lurves it.

Gimme Shelter, Tora! Tora! Tora!, and Catch-22 are the only three that I recognize, but I’ve never watched any of them and I have no idea what they were about.

Tora! Tora! Tora! Is a great movie about Pearl Harbor.

@Seek_Kolinahr, Thanks! I’ll have to check it out.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s
West Side Story
101 Dalmations
The Guns of Navarone
The Hustler

Back to the Future!

Five Easy Pieces, and quite a few more…

@Seek_Kolinahr I loved Young Sherlock Holmes!!! I’ve probably seen it about 10 times. Might have to make it 11 tonight if I can find it on Netflix. Nicholas Rowe was quite the hottie for my 18 year old self when that movie came out. See for Yourself

I saw Tora Tora Tora at the drive-in theater with my folks, my brother and our dog, in the back of a corvair station wagon. It was a very good, and quite vivid, portrayal of Pearl Harbor.

I hate you young people. LOL

1971

A Clockwork Orange
Shaft
Dirty Harry
Bedknobs and Broomsticks

…..... And one my of favorite movies EVER!! Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!
I hated that piece of crap remake with Johnny Depp!

Star Wars.

I found out Toy Story came out the year I was born. That was definitely a memorable movie of my childhood.

There were several good movies in the year of my birth in 1967, apparently. Here are some notable ones from that year:

The Graduate
Cool Hand Luke
In the Heat of the Night
Bonnie and Clyde
The Dirty Dozen
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
To Sir, With Love
Valley of the Dolls

I dont know. But I do remember mom taking me to the premiere of Bambi ! LOL She took me out because I was crying so hard.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Fitting, I think – it’s always been a favourite of mine.

Best one from that decade: Gone with the Wind.

Oh man, I loved It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World when I was little!

1968
2001 a Space Odyssey
Funny Girl
Planet of the Apes
The Producers

@Bluefreedom @JLeslie I saw all of those movies while they were still in the theaters.

@Yetanotheruser. I’m envious. I would have liked to have seen many of them in theaters.

Pink Flamingos
Sleuth
The Godfather
Frenzy
Deliverance
The Candidate

I saw Planet of the Apes at the Drive In.

The Ox-Bow Incident and Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt.

Dirty Dancing!!

I was born in the year of Ben Hur. lol
