Movie Challenge

Most people know that I LOVE movies. I try to make at least one new release each week. Someone asked me, “What are your favorites from each decade”? That was simple, but I thought I challenge myself and pick out my favorite from each year since sound came into film.

Some things I’ve found out there are some years that were hard to pick because there are so many good films, then there are the years that had nothing honestly good (2005 for example). Some older years, I couldn’t find anything that I’ve seen or sincerely enjoyed so I’ve skipped over them. Another thing I found out is that I’m a sucker for anything with Wil Smith, Johnny Depp and Jim Carrey in it. And lastly, I found out that I might just have too much time on my hands some days.
:-P
