My Favourite Movie - Evolution of a Concept
Tyler Cowen at Marginal Revolution began this thread, and Ted Frank at Lagniappe "picked up the baton". Ted, in turn, suggested that I post on the topic. My tastes and age are different, so you'll see quite different movies listed here. I have no idea about the precise dates when these movies became my favourites.
1956 - The Court Jester with Danny Kaye
1958 - No Time for Sergeants with Andy Griffith
1963 - Tom Jones
1964 - Hard Day's Night
1968 - The Graduate
1973 - American Graffiti
1976 - Blazing Saddles
1978 - National Lampoon's Animal House
1980 - The In-Laws [warning: the 2003 version is horrid]
1983 - On Golden Pond
1987 - Three Days of the Condor
present: a toss-up between On Golden Pond (I'm reaching the age that this movie, despite being hilarious, has become painfully significant) and Three Days of the Condor (I love the intricacies, even though they are implausible).
As you can see, I'm not much of a movie buff. And to be quite honest, I still enjoy all the movies on this list.
Other bloggers, in reverse alphabetical order, from whom I would be interested in seeing the evolution:
