Your Favourite Movie From Every Year You've Been Alive

[jolldan]

I put quite a bit of thought in to this list as some years were much harder to pick between and had numerous greats while some were actually incredibly easy to pick through showing just how much difference a year can be at the movies.

If you do pick some of the same films as me they could possibly be on different years as some came out in one year in say the US and didn't release until the next year in the UK.

Would love to hear everyone else's list although I totally understand if nobody wants to reveal their age on here.
