No, I think you're mistaken.  I'm fairly certain it was 1980.

 

I banged your mom in 1980, and that's how you were born.

Well, considering I was born in 1982, I'm fairly certain that you banged her around August of 1981.

 

Youve got your years all mixed up bro.

Alien II I think.

 

Could be.  That's the one where Arnold Schwarzenegger is chased through the jungle in Vietnam, right?

Not sure.

 

Alien was released in 1979.

That would explain a lot.

I imagine it's why when I tell you that as men we spend the first nine months trying to get out and the rest of our lives trying to get back in ..... you always give that look that a dog does when he doesn't quite understand something.

[TradeTheBeal!]

Pretty sure The Apple banged everybody's mom back in 1980.

and that all time classic...The Awakening - starring Charlton Heston.

Empire.  Vader became a cinematic icon because of that movie.

Did Mystery Science Theater 3000 ever screen The Apple?  It looks like a ripe candidate.

 

 

[Burgold]

Didn't realize '80 was such a good year for movies. Some really fine choices.

Easily saw 1/2 the films on the list. 30+ at the theater.

I see what you did there...

[zoony]

Thats a great year for movies

 

What happened to hollywood?

[Riggo-toni]

Had to choose Empire, but of all those movies, The Blues Brothers is the one I will still watch when it comes on cable.

[Rocky21]

The Blues Brothers in 3rd or 4th place? 

 

There's no accounting for taste I guess. 

[Chew]

[Yohan]

I went with Empire, because fan boy and all that. But really, Friday the 13th, because Kevin Bacon.

[Busch1724]

Man what a great year for movies! It's rare for so many good comedies in one year too. I voted Caddyshack. It's the one I can watch the most. However, Raging Bull is incredible. 

[Riggo-toni]

Used Cars was a funny movie too, maybe better than Caddyshack. Before Zemeckis became famous for Back to the Future.

[Sticksboi05]

Raging Bull is by far the best film on the list. That said, I'll rewatch Caddyshack or Empire more.
