Technically, Fanny and Alexander was a 1982 film, but it was released in the US in 1983 (my birth year), so I'll use it.

It's a difficult film to review - the best of the bunch is lemmycaution's 'Late Bergman, early recollections.'

Like Chocolate Lady, I too was born in 1957. She's listed most of the great films of that year already. The one I keep going back to is Bridge on the River Kwai.

I just discovered Corduroy Pillow's exceptionally clever review "Short life span."

Well - my top picks of 1976 would be "Bugsy Malone", "Cross of Iron", "Marathon Man" and "The Omen", but my favourite movie from my birth year is unquestionably one of the best movies of the whole decade - "Taxi Driver".

The top reviews are pretty obvious and not favourites of mine - but I'd like to give the nod to Redpen's "De Niro, De Mirror", an Anonymous "Blast of the Mohican", and el guapo's "Keitel pimps Foster child".

Never had the pleasure of other 76ers - "Bestiality", "Emmanuelle goes Japanese", "House of the Screaming Virgins", "Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks", or "Let My Puppets Come" but they may indeed be neglected classics of the 70s.

1964 was a vintage year. As well as the main feature (me ) there was

Carry on Cleo: Sid, Caesar. (Randall)
Dr Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb: 'Apocalypse Then' (Joe Blevins)
A Fistful of Dollars: The Leone Stranger (Rovark)
Mary Poppins: Poppins likes Dick (LPH)
My Fair Lady: 'Iggins 'elps 'Epburn's helocution. (Markandlain)
Zorba the Greek: Quinn's Grecian formula: self-abZorba-d. (ChocolateLady)
Zulu: Black Rorke Down (djw1973), honourable mentions for Wales beat All Blacks (Cheddar's Finest) and Men of Harlech. Wails.
(Yenser)

Of the above list, Zulu is probably my favourite, closely followed by Carry on Cleo and A Fistful of Dollars.

I've not seen very many 1973 films, but I would pick Mean Streets as that year's best (it was not a particularly strong year for films, IMO). However, Soylent Green (which I haven't seen) has an exceptionally high number of outstanding reviews. Among them:

Heston realizes everyone's crackers
Heston finds humans distasteful
Fed up with people
Guess Who's Becoming Dinner

Well, I was born 1n 1945 (between VE Day and VJ Day). Not the greatest year for films but there were some notables, including Billy Wilder's bold (for its day) The Lost Weekend. My favourite review: Randall's inspired "Billy Wilder's slosher film"

For anyone interested, here's my Lemmycaution's 45s accolade.

Wrong section (should be FWFR Related > Reviews or Film Related > General), but anyway...

Here are some films from my birth year.

I'm not sure whether this is my favourite film of the year, but it's certainly significant and I've just come across an outstanding review that I hadn't seen before.

Ok, 1966 gave us this in the Academy Awards

Movies that I remember seeing from 1966.

Sand Pebbles
Fantastic Voyage
Born Free

But my fav would be this one that I have singled at my favourite non-thefoxboy review.

Welcome to tne Fourum!

Aside from the fact that Soylent Green was written by a good friend of my father's (Stanley Greenberg), you really should try to find it and see it, if only to honour Charleton Heston's memory. And if you like dark, Sci-Fi distopia movies, its a real classic.

Thanks! Soylent Green is one of the many movies on my list of films to see. Hopefully somebody like WGN will run a Heston marathon soon due his recent passing.

Day Of The Jackal is another film from that year that I haven't seen that looks reasonably promising as well.

Don't say that out loud too much, someone might get the idea to remake it!
