schampstamp asked: Clarifying question: Are they the best films of each year of your lifetime or your favorite?

I went back and forth on this, but I decided to go with my opinion of the “best film” of a particular year. This is why Return of the Jedi and Temple of Doom didn’t make my list the last two years.

I love reading The Masked Man’s articles on Grantland. This one got me incredibly excited about WrestleMania 28. If you are behind or care about spoilers, probably best to ignore this article.

Films of my Lifetime - 1984

Year two of my Films of my Lifetime series. First, let’s review 1984:

1984 Best Picture Winner: Amadeus

1984 Top Grossing Film: Beverly Hills Cop

My Pick for Best Film of 1984: This is Spinal Tap!

This is Spinal Tap might be my favorite comedy of all time. I probably watch it every year and each year, I find something else in the movie that makes me laugh. If you’ve never seen it, you are doing it wrong.

Fantastic piece on Brandon Jennings and what he means to Milwaukee.

I know this is over a year old, but still worth taking a look. I thought I was pretty balanced with 52% of savings from tax increases and 48% from spending cuts.
