I sent this out as an email to some friends last night and then I figured why not share with all of you. And yes, I have seen every movie on this list........I have no life.
Here's what happens when you have internet access and too much time on your hands. I turn 35 next month, so I decided to take my love of movies and pick a favorite movie for each year I have been alive. Easier said than done. Instead I ended up with 10 movies for each year (couldn't pick between them). This list goes from 1971(when I was 0) to 2005. Seeing as 2006 isn't over yet, I decided not to include it on the list. Remember these are MY favorite movies (yes, some of them suck, but I'd still watch them).
Anyway, here you go.
