Newkill3000's Lists

Now, I know 2009 isn't over, but it is for me as far as movies go. Whether or not Avatar is good or not it has no chance in my top 10. So, oh well. It was a hard list to make because I enjoyed a lot of films from this year.

The year 2000, my final year of middle school. The world didn't come to an end but a lot of movies did suck.

Terrible movies

Plain and simple, any movies that were not released after 1962 all suck. I don't care what titles you drop on me. I'll say crap to all of them. Citizen Kane, which everyone calls the greatest movie ever made, I highly doubt that. Movies didn't start getting good until 1962. Weelll, Maybe except for Godzilla movies but other than that trash, trash, trash, Trash!

In 1963, we had a great thing happen in film. Sydney Poitier became the first African American to win an Academy Award.

What i remember most from 1964 is my daddy was born that year. Oh, and Ali beat the shit out of Sonny Liston and became the heavyweight champion of the world.

The hell, nothing happened in this shitty ass year.

In 1966, there was the death of Walt Disney, and my favorite baseball team, Baltimore Orioles, swept the Dodgers 4 games to none, winning there first World Series.

Muhammad Ali was stripped of his World Heavyweight Champion titles and was banned from boxing by the various commissions for his refusal to be inducted into the United States Army, 1967. Comic Books began their publications.

Broccoli went searching for the next Bond. The first home videocassette format, Cartrivision, is introduced to the American public. The Tomb of Dracula comics are introduced and we get the first impression of Blade.

Bruce lee, mysteriously, dies. The Exorcist is a big hit, but don't expect it in this top 10, because I personally hate The Exorcist. Everyone was telling just how terrifying it was. They said it would scare the pants off of me. When I was 12 years old, my father rented it for Halloween. Me, my brother and sister sat on the couch and watched it. Guess what not scared, one bit. I was easy to please at that age, but this film did not win me over. To me, all the Exorcist was about is a bitch talking shit to two priests and that it.

Oh noooooo, Tom Cruise made his acting debut this year.

The Coca-Cola Company acquires Columbia Pictures. The THX Sound System is developed for use in movie theaters, and ET becomes a major hit, which today i still do not understand why. I've never seen it in full, only bits and pieces, and from those scenes, i just completely hate the hell out of this crappy movie.
