[Film] What’s your favourite film released the year you were born?

[father_and_son]

Bloody hell - just looked up my year 1970, and what a rubbish year it was for films. If I had to pick one then it would be The Railway Children.

Same here... Dire year for the cinema!

 

[Gwylan]

Un condamné à mort s'est échappé, just pipping The Searchers

 

[Icy Gull]

How do I choose between A Streetcar Named Desire, The African Queen, An American in Paris and the Lavender Hill Mob?

The best film though was allegedly The Day The Earth Stood Still

BTW I am so glad that I’m nowhere near the oldest git on here.

 

[The Brighton Bear]

The 400 Blows

1942 Casablanca

1962- The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner- Tom Courtney. Brilliant film, and the ending is just perfect and unexpected.

Same year but can't recall having seen that.

A short list would include, Longest Day, Cape Fear and To Kill a Mockingbird. However, prefered the remake of Cape Fear so Mockingbird gets it.

 

[Mexican Seagull]

1952 had some classics like High Noon, but I used to love the old Road to movies with Bing & Bob and this one had Dorothy Lamour......

 

[Saunders]

Just need a mothers maiden name thread and halfway there.

 

[Warner Edwards]

So many great movies , Lawrence of Arabia , To Kill A Mockingbird , Birdman Of Alcatraz , Cape Fear , and The Longest Day to name but a few but obviously the one that tops the lot is of course .

I watched this film last week as part of an old episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3000, the monsters were very realistic :-D

I'll have to go with The Devil Rides Out (1968)

You're kidding?

M.A.S.H.
Catch 22
Kelly's Heroes
Little Big Man
A Man called Horse


And for a bit of history, Waterloo and Cromwell!
