Daughters of Satan staring a young Tom Selleck

sounds dreadful

A Grindhouse double-bill. Superb
Tarantino would be all over that.

Lawrence of Arabia

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Monty Python and The Holy Grail was released the day before I was born.

 

[Spiros]

Dr Terror's House of Horrors not long after I was born but just over a week later it was hit out of the park by the drabfest that is The Sound of Music

 

[Giraffe]

First one after I was born:

T.R. Baskin (known as A Date with a Lonely Girl in the United Kingdom).

Hmmm.

 

[Triggaaar]

In, what, waaay...

Raised or lowered taxes?

Anyone ? Anyone ? Bueller ?

 

[DavidRyder]

Pretty Maids All In A Row - apparently - never heard of it!

 

[Lenny Rider]

Lt Robin Crusoe USN.

Never heard of it. Well I have now, obviously.

Was it starring Dick Van Dyke?

edit (yes it was)

 

[RandyWanger]

I've seen all of these movies and didn't realise they were as 'old' as I am. Looks like it was a great year of film.

The NeverEnding Story
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Ghostbusters
The Terminator
The Karate Kid
Police Academy
Gremlins
Beverly Hills Cop

Lots of stuff I've never heard of but Chinatown was released five days before I was born, and it SMASHED the Oscars.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Can I go two days before I was born?

Platoon

 

[jimhigham]

Barely a few hours after my birth Silent Running was released in the UK.

Magnificent. The film. Not me.

 

[Chicken Run]

Butch Cassidy & The Sun Dance Kid[emoji41]

1984 was a belter for films, apparently. Indiana Jones and the temple of doom, Once upon a time in america and this is spinal tap also came out that year.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

There wasn’t a breakdown for 1952 but Singing in the Rain came out that year - a timely reminder of the Chicken Run and Withdean Stadium!

 

[Tooting Gull]

Good thread.

The Producers. I'll settle for that.

 

[Boys 9d]

The Magnificent Ambersons, the second feature film produced and directed by Orson Welles

 

[Hotchilidog]

The Graduate was the biggest draw but In Like Flint also took to the silver screen that year, very happy with those

 

[Meade's Ball]

Telling that my birthday is shared with the relief of a blaxploitation flick, and that just a few days before came out One of our Dinosaurs is Missing - a time when any white actor could be simply chinesed up.

 

[elninobonito]

The Breakfast Club for me. Came out two weeks after I was born!
