The Favorite Films Of My Lifetime: 1988

1988 wasn't 1987 tough to make cuts, but there were some omissions I was sad not to be talking about with my 6 film limit.  I know the next year will be a big one too, so its pretty telling there was great run of films in the movie industry from 1987-1989.  Or maybe...I was just soaking in and paying attention to more movies at the time (likely a big factor).  I've also noticed Tom Cruise has been in big movie after big movie, but none of them have yet to show up on my lists (No, I am not a Top Gun fan, sorry).  So, alas, another day, another year another list of 6 movies!

MY FAVORITE PART 3's

IRON MAN 3 opens in theaters today.  This franchise also enters the dreaded "PART 3" territory where a lot of film series tend to falter.  This is usually a point in a series where the first signs of a noticeable decline or staleness can tend to appear.  But this isn't always the case.  There are some "PART 3" installments that have bucked the trend.  So far, early reviews show that IRON MAN 3 has indeed been on that side of things.  I decided to have some fun and give out my 10 favorite part 3 films (I prefer to use the term "favorite" over "best" when applicable.  This reflects my opinion, not a general one).  What are some of yours or ones that I didn't mention?

Without further adieu...here they are...unranked and in alphabetical order.  One disclaimer: I'm leaving off ARMY OF DARKNESS as I just wrote extensively about the EVIL DEAD series and wanted some others to get a fair shake.
