Each month, I explore a pre-selected year in movie history. During the month, I'll watch and review a dozen or so movies from the same year. How do these movies compare to their contemporaries? What do these movies reveal about the era they were made? How does history influence the movies? Are these movies relevant today?
How I select which year to review each month:
The basic formula is: the digit of the month plus the last digit of the year (i.e. February 2017 = 2/17 = 1927). Exceptions are made for January, November, and December.
The year for each month in 2010:
Jan - 1900 and 1910
(110 and 100 years ago)
Feb - 1920 (90 years ago)
Mar - 1930 (80 years ago)
Apr - 1940 (70 years ago)
May - 1950 (60 years ago)
Jun - 1960 (50 years ago)
Jul - 1970 (40 years ago)
Aug - 1980 (30 years ago)
Sep - 1990 (20 years ago)
Oct - 2000 (10 years ago)
Nov - 2005 (5 years ago)
Dec - 2009 (1 year ago)
