Movie meme!

Snagged from blackfrancine:

Go here and start with the year you were born. Select your favorite movie from the list. You're not making a value judgment here, but rather an emotional decision, based on which of the films listed inspires the strongest and happiest emotional memories. Then make a list, selecting one movie from each year you've been alive.

1984: This is a really sad year, because I've only seen maybe three movies on this list, and I didn't particularly like any of them! :(
1985: Rocky IV
1986: My Little Pony: The Movie
1987: The Princess Bride
1988: Rain Man
1989: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Conclusion: Clearly I completely missed most of the 1980s, because I've hardly seen ANY of the movies on these lists!

1990: Dances With Wolves
1991: Hook
1992: The Mighty Ducks/Newsies (I can't choose!)
1993: Free Willy
1994: Little Women
1995: Toy Story
1996: Independence Day
1997: Men in Black
1998: Armageddon
1999: 10 Things I Hate About You

2000: Memento
2001: Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
2002: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
2003: Love Actually/Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (it was a good year!)
2004: The Incredibles
2005: Crash/Batman Begins/Rent (REALLY good year)
2006: Bobby
2007: Bridge to Terebithia
2008: The Dark Knight
2009: Up in the Air
2010: The Social Network/Black Swan

blackfrancine also did a "favorite movie of the decade" thing, but while the 1980s is easy (The Princess Bride), I had a hard enough time choosing for each year. NO WAY could I narrow it down to a favorite for the decade.

Heh, a LOT of yours were my runners-up. Land Before Time, Little Mermaid, Jurassic Park, Bridget Jones, Finding Nemo, The Producers... haha, but I'm amused that I thought 2005 had so many good choices and you thought it wasn't a very good year!
