1996 turned out to be a difficult year to pick from for me. It was also a pretty great year for comedy for me, unfortunately having to make the final cuts of Kingpin and Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. It sucks, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, I suppose. Overall a pretty strong year for movies and the one that introduced me to the Coen Bros. If young me would have told you about 1996 I would have been allllll about the Independence Day. Its surprisingly a movie I never turn back to and am kind of afraid to do so. But, in 1996, that movie and I had our time together and it was a good one.
