My Favorite Movies From Each Year I Was Born

So, yeah, it’s my birthday today! I officially turn 29 years old. To be honest, as I get older, my birthday is the day I really dread because it just reminds me how old I’ve becoming and just how little I’ve actually done with my life for my first 29 years in existence. However, to try to put myself in a happy spirit for this very day, I decided to do something fun and name my two favorite movies from each year that I was born. Starting in 1997 and ending in our current year, 2026. Why two movies from each year you may ask? Because I’m too cool enough where I can name two in a year as oppose to just one.

I just want to let you all know that this is strictly my opinion and these are the two movies from each respective year that have stuck with me all these years. They all may not be objectively the best movies ever made or ones that achieve the artistic level of perfection but these are just the movies that I look back on and remember fondly the most from every year since 1997. If you don’t like these choices, then I’m sorry. If you do, then awesome and I’m glad we share similar tastes. I’m also not gonna go in depth with each one because I rather just let the movies listed speak for themselves and expose my bizarre taste in films.

Anyways, here we go!
