That's a little easier.

1979

Looks like I missed a cuuple of big ones

1979

I know here's no contest. 1979 may even going to win this tourney at the end but for the moment, like to share my little support for 2006...one of the finest years of the last decade; a great number of my modern day favorites & guilty pleasures are there...Bug, The Host, Silent Hill, Cold Prey, Fido, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, The Hills Have Eyes remake, Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, Them, Slither, Hatchet, Taxidermia, Black Sheep, Final Destination 3.
