Not every film from my childhood was a gritty action movie or a grown-up horror flick; for our discussion today is the original, and still the best of Jim Henson's classic Muppet movies! Still an unbeaten celebration of clever, innovative film-making with a heck of a big heart, i absolutely love this movie, and i make no apologies for voting it as my film of the year 1979! Please enjoy!

Possibly a bit more of an unexpected choice this week; the Burt Reynolds action classic 'Hooper'! Enjoy! 

For our '77 episode, we tackle the birth of one of the most influential series in film history, responsible for inspiring countless filmmakers, and still going stronger than ever today; Star Wars! Is it a work of genius, or just the kids film that got lucky? This and other important questions will likely not be answered in the next half hour..  

It's Episode 2 already, and up for discussion this time is the ultimate rags-to-riches sports drama- 1976's "Rocky"! 

So lace up those boxing gloves, pop in your gumshield, and lets beat some meat! 

And... Action!  Join me for a blockbusting celebration of my 50 favourite movies of my first 50 years!

Every week, i'll run down the biggest box office hits of each year, in order, from 1975 onwards, and discuss in detail my own pick for Movie Of The Year.

So, pop that corn, settle in on the back row, and lets talk movies!

Join the discussion online, and tell us your own favourites too!
