It was a very good year for both films and births....

Same as me that.

The bit where Kurt Douglas kills the lovebirds is great and the other one where Yul Brinner gets murdered in the shower scene. Never to be forgotten films.

There are a whole load of "classics" released in '74 that I haven't even seen tbh (you lot will slaughter me for these!) - Death Wish, Blazing Saddles, Godfather Pt.2, Great Gatsby, Murder on the Orient Express, Young Frankenstein.

However, still plenty of ok movies from that year that I have seen - Towering Inferno, Golden Voyage of Sinbad, Carry on Dick, The Man with the Golden Gun.....but my favourite has to be "The Longest Yard" with Burt Reynolds. As an American Football fan it ticks all the right boxes!

Has to be Home Alone purely due to nostalgia. Tough one considering Goodfellas also came out.

For 1993, it has to be Groundhog Day narrowly beating Jurassic Park for me. The Bill Murray Classic was the first non animated film I remember watching and still love it to this day. Despite it being 26 years old, Jurassic Park is still the greatest dinosaur film ever made, and really can not see it being topped any time soon.

Christ that makes me feel old !

I remember when Jurassic Park first came out, I'd say it was probably the greatest leap forward in special effects I'd ever seen, it was quite literally jaw-dropping. There were hints of what was to come from CGI with the tentacle in The Abyss, and the T-1000 in Terminator 2. But the dinosaur effects in JP were absolutely mindblowing at the time.

Of course CGI has moved on and is probably overused these days, but the effects in that movie still don't look outdated. Amazing film.
