Pointless Friday afternoon fayre to lead us through a slow-moving afternoon.

If you go here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_films#By_year

Click on the year you were born, then scroll down a bit, you can see the month/date the film was released. The first major one that came out after my birthday in Oct 71 was The FRENCH Connection.

Anyone ? Anyone ? Bueller ?

I think Planet of the Apes.

I'd need to check the link.

EDIT:

6 months out.

I get 'The Shakiest Gun in the West'

Educating Rita.

There were a lot of horror bobbins-fests between my actually birthday and anything half decent.

As an aside, Fiddler on the Roof was the largest grossing film the year I was born, although The French Connection got the Oscar for best picture.

August 64, two days after my arrival, 'Ride the Wild Surf' starring Fabian (?)

But dwarfed 22 days later by the release of Walt Disney's Mary Poppins.

"Angel" and "Hot Dog... The Movie" both came out on the same day, after my birthday.

The first one I've actually heard of is Footloose.

I'm a little bit disappointed to discover that Ghostbusters was pipped by Beverly Hills Cop as the top grossing film of the year.
