But my love for those films and the others on my top 15 are just never ending.<br /><br />You did no wrong choosing '03, though. A fine year with many, many favorites.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951548184115824860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783954287151205399.post-81527595542284216672012-04-18T16:37:25.707-04:002012-04-18T16:37:25.707-04:00This was my runner-up year.

The top three films alone would win an Oscar any year they were nominated. <br /><br />Then the problem arose that those are the only three I truly loved from then, so I had to look towards a different year.impassionedcinemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02954177935995431412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783954287151205399.post-90859216950373446002012-04-17T22:38:30.304-04:002012-04-17T22:38:30.304-04:00Anna, it has stood the test of time year after yea...Anna, it has stood the test of time year after year.

Of course, comedy is subjective. If this is your kind of humor, then what are you waiting for??<br /><br />Funny how you choose '95. Looks like we're in agreement that the mid-90's were very, very good to us. :-)Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951548184115824860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783954287151205399.post-39668105907286689662012-04-16T14:38:28.814-04:002012-04-16T14:38:28.814-04:00I have yet to see Dumb and Dumber - should before ...I have yet to see Dumb and Dumber - should before the next film comes out (wink)!<br /><br />1994 was a milestone year for me and I remember it well.<br /><br />And it was chock full of classics too! <br /><br />Solid, solid picks!iluvcinemahttp://iluvcinema.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783954287151205399.post-69915927948380024932012-04-16T09:46:58.756-04:002012-04-16T09:46:58.756-04:00Paul: I know you're a Meg fan, and I figured y...Paul: I know you're a Meg fan, and I figured you'd appreciate the shout-out. Thanks for coming by!<br /><br />PG Cooper: Glad you agree!<br /><br />Mette: I know what you mean when you say that you can't believe some people don't like these movies. I know everyone can't agree on everything, but really, everyone *should* love Gump and Shawshank, dammit!!!<br /><br />Alan: What are you waiting for?!<br /><br />Alex: Pulp Fiction is violent and hardcore. I'm sure it will offend you BUT if you can overcome that, you'll be rewarded with some really ingenious storytelling and electric filmmaking. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for art! And 1988 is a fantastic year! Don't forget Big! And Working Girl! And Naked Gun! I need to get that "Best Of" list up on my site. Maybe I'll tackle '88 next. Thanks for the inspiration!<br /><br />Fernando: There's something here for everyone!<br /><br />Kristen: Glad we share the same taste. I'll definitely have to check out what you thought ranked higher!<br /><br />Pete: A couple of my other titles from that year almost beat out D&D but I thought that this film really represented how great of a year it was. There is no funnier film that came out that year!<br /><br />Thanks everyone for chiming in!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951548184115824860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783954287151205399.post-2864139151343995262012-04-16T02:31:33.646-04:002012-04-16T02:31:33.646-04:00What a great year!

I reckon I might be able to find something I like more than D&D but the others would probably all make my top 20 of all time!ilovethatfilmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882133059882238037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783954287151205399.post-75759623264198963912012-04-16T01:14:30.418-04:002012-04-16T01:14:30.418-04:001994 was a second runner up for me and I'm gla...1994 was a second runner up for me and I'm glad you picked pretty much the same movies I would have.Kristenhttp://www.journeysinclassicfilm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783954287151205399.post-66201583048079997642012-04-15T23:25:27.114-04:002012-04-15T23:25:27.114-04:00Great post.

Gump is great, but it grows weak with multiple viewings, for me. Also, I think Shawshank should have won BP that year, not Gump. I've been meaning to see Speed forever. As for Pulp Fiction, I've been trying to avoid it due to its love for profanity and graphic violence, so I'm afraid it'll offend me rather than become one of my favorites. But I've been hearing so many great things about it, and it's in IMDb's top TEN (!!!), so I would assume I also have some good reasons to just give in and watch it when I get a chance. Great list. I'm not sure what my favorite year would be (there were a lot of great ones from '94, I agree), but I'd have to say '88, if anything. It holds many films I love, but the first three that come to mind are Die Hard, A Fish Called Wanda, and Beetlejuice.Alexander Diminianohttp://themoviefreakblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783954287151205399.post-89153784101211087832012-04-15T17:39:37.887-04:002012-04-15T17:39:37.887-04:00Once again I'm reminded that I need to get aro...Once again I'm reminded that I need to get around to seeing Shawshank.
