My Life So Far (The Original Motion Picture Motion Pictures)

When I said I wouldn't be posting here on a near daily basis anymore ... well, today is an anomaly.  I think.

Like the songs, these aren't necessarily my favorite films, though certainly a good chunk of them qualify as such.  Some of them are pretty bad, in retrospect.  In the end, these are movies that remind me strongly of a particular year in my life (whether personal or in a historical context).
