Okay, that was WAY harder than I thought it was going to be. To be fair, I also used Google and looked at a quick overview of what notable movies came out that year, so I’m entirely certain that I missed a ton of really great films! I have such a decision-making problem and I just love films so much. There aren’t many that I watch and go “that’s a bad movie.” And since I was born in ’92, I miss out on listing some of the greatest films, some of my FAVOURITE films… I really wanted to list Carrie but it’s from 1976… darn. Anyway, it was a fun little exercise in rattling off movies that I love and it gives you a sense of what films I enjoy, too! (P.S. Good thing there’s no tag limit, apparently!)
