Favorite Movies of the Past 50(+1) Years (Part I)

I'm a nerd. I like lists. Used to make them all the time. Since I'm kinda starved for ideas, either song or rant, I thought I'd resurrect a little list project I was working on a while back.

The concept is simple - favorite movie from each of the last 50 years. Not the "best" movie - the movie that you would choose to watch if you were channel surfing and ran across it. As to be expected, there are quite a number of "guy movies".

1961 - The Guns Of Navarone
1962 - The Longest Day
1963 - The Great Escape
1964 - Goldfinger
1965 - Battle Of The Bulge
1966 - The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
1967 - The Dirty Dozen
1968 - Bullitt
1969 - True Grit
1970 - MASH
1971 - Dirty Harry
1972 - The Godfather
1973 - The Sting
1974 - Blazing Saddles
1975 - Monty Python & The Holy Grail
1976 - Rocky
1977 - Star Wars
1978 - Animal House
1979 - The Jerk
1980 - The Empire Strikes Back
1981 - Raiders Of The Lost Ark
1982 - Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan
1983 - Return Of The Jedi
1984 - The Terminator
1985 - Back To The Future

Part II upcoming.
