Pic of the Day: “Henry, I have a report here from your Major O’Houlihan. Now she makes some accusations here that I frankly find hard to believe.” “Well, don’t believe them then, General. Goodbye.” (50th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “I keep having the same dream. He seems to be forcing me to return to the bitter sweet site, of my grandfather’s house, where I was born on the table 40 years ago. Something always prevents me from entering. I keep having my dream. When I dream of the log walls and dark pantry, I sense that it’s only a dream. Then my joy is clouded, for I know I’ll wake up. Sometimes something happens, and I stop dreaming of the house and the pines by the house of my childhood. Then I grieve and wait for the dream, that will make me a child again, and I’ll be happy again knowing that all still lies ahead, and nothing is impossible…” (45th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: ♫ “Heaven, I’m in heaven / And the cares that hang around me through the week / Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak / When we’re out together dancing, cheek to cheek.” ♫ (85th Anniversary
Pic of the Day: “Ernest Hemingway once wrote, ‘The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.’ I agree with the second part.” (25th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn’t be our style. Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory… lasts forever.” (20th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did was wrong. But we think you’re crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us – in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Correct? That’s the way we saw each other at 7:00 this morning.” (35th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “When I was seven years old, my daddy caught me smoking a cigar. Locked me in a broom closet for two days and two nights with nothing more than a box of cigars and a book of matches. No food, Brewster. No water, just those god damn cigars. Wouldn’t let me out till I finished every last one of them. Taught me one hell of a lesson! I’m gonna do to you what my daddy did to me. I’m gonna teach you to hate spending money. I’m gonna make you so sick of spending money that the mere sight of it will make you wanna throw up!” (35th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “The monkey is never dead, Dealer. The monkey never dies. When you kick him off, he just hides in a corner, waiting his turn.” (65th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “Until then I had done things my way, but from then on something stepped in and shunted me off to a different destination than the one I’d picked for myself.” (75th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: ♫ “Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen / Pour myself a cup of ambition / Yawn and stretch and try to come to life / Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin’ / Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin’ / With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5” ♫ (40th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “Just checking.” “Everything all right?” “Yep. Two corpses. Everything’s fine.” (35th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “You be careful, madam, or you’ll turn my pretty head with your flattery.” “I often wished I could turn your head – on a spit, over a slow fire.” (80th Anniversary)
Pic of the Day: “You know, I think you ought to get him some help. He seems to be really hung up on super heroes’ sex organs.” (25th Anniversary)
Mike’s Favorite Original Songs of the Decade (10-1)
This was probably the list I was most excited to create when I came up with the idea of all these ‘Decade’ lists. It’s the most immediately gratifying. The songs are all right there to listen to and appreciate.
One of my favorite things to do each year (before they tried to take it away from us with that shortlist bullshit) was go through the list of all the eligible songs for Best Original Song at the Oscars and then figure out which ones I liked best. So I already had a giant pool of songs to work from, and then all I had to do was go in and look for any others that may have not been submitted or eligible, etc. And after that it was just making a playlist and figuring out what order they were going in. Which, I’ve gotta tell you, if you’ve never tried it… do it. It’s great. This is now a playlist on my phone that I listen to occasionally because it’s just great songs from movies.
Anyway, this is a list of my 200 favorite original songs from the decade in film. I was pleased that I could get to 200 here because there actually were that many (and more) that I liked enough to deem worthy of one of these lists. We’re gonna post it in chunks of ten, the way we’ve posted all the other lists. Only this one has been slowly been rolled out over the past couple of months, one each day. So really this is just cleaning all that up and putting it all in one place.
So here are my favorite original songs from the films of 2010-2019: (more…)

Pic of the Day: “You didn’t happen to see my suit in there, did you?” “Yeah, it was taking up too much room, so we sold it.” “Did you get anything for it?” “Uh… dollar forty.” “That’s my suit all right.” (85th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Excuse me if this off the subject a little bit, but just take a guess at how much I can bench press. Come on, what do you think? Take a guess. 315 pounds, at the top of my game, maxing out at 500!” (20th Anniversary)
