Ok, This is the first one of these where I will do it by year from here on. This happens to be the year I was birthed into this universe. Little did my little self know, I would love movies so much. So it's appropriate that I start these year by year lists with my birth year. It was the year the Empire Struck Back and people found out...spoiler..that Darth Vader was Luke's father. It was also the year the best Star Wars to date has come out and two classic comedies, Airplane and Caddyshack graced our scenes. It was also the year that Carl Sagan graced our TV sets and talked about one of my favorite subjects of all time, Science...This show is a masterpiece and spawned a worthy sequel in 2014 hosted by Neil DeGras Tyson. Lets count them down shall we.
