My theory on this is your favorite movies are closely related to the movies that came out during your teenage years. Thats when you go to the movies the most and you become attached to them.
For me it was the 90's
- Shawshank Redemption
- Unforgiven
- Jerry Maguire
- A few good men.
- Jurrasic Park
- Titanic
- Casino
- Pulp Fiction
- Silence of the lambs
- Forrest Gump
- Toy Story and Toy Story 2
- American Beauty
- Usual Suspects
- Saving Private Ryan
- Big Lebowski
- Dazed and Confused
- Sixth Sense
- As good as it gets
Plus tons of comedies like Tommy Boy, Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, Austin Powers, American Pie, Theres something about Mary, etc.
My brothers who are 8-10 years older love the 80's movies like Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club etc. My Dad speaks fondly about the 60's movies.
* On a side note, this theory also usually holds true for your favorite SNL cast.
