portlander's rating:
In celebration of my birthday this week- A list of my favorite movie of the year, for each year I have been alive on this little blue marble we call Earth - along with my runner up favorite movie, the top grossing movie the week of my birthday (from 1982, since that is as far back as I could find), and the top grossing movie and best picture Oscar winner for each year.
Nicely done on this list, my friend. Looks like your birthday week bounces between good films being the top-grossing and awful films (Mo' Money, The Klumps, G-Force, etc.) being the top-grossing LOL.
Happy Birthday, man, and I'm delighted to see all three LOTR films. My own birthday is early December, so it was always a few weeks before they came out, but going to see them was easily better than any gift.
Happy birthday!
