40 Years, 40 Movies: My Life in Film

I turn 40 today, and instead of spiraling into an existential crisis, I'm naming a movie (or two) from each year of my life that has special meaning to me. And also spiraling into an existential crisis.

Happy birthday. You made me care about box office. I never miss an episode of Charts with Dan. More life to you.

[@dylanrowell176]

The literal best.

[@CinemaGulp]

Same!

[@albertstock85]

40 years, 40 films, 40+ minute video! Happy birthday, Dan!

[@jonm.1030]

What an amazing list. This would be very similar to my own. The fact that you took your love for film and have adapted it into a career is inspiring. Happy 40 Dan.

[@leetrovillion85]

Completely agree. I need to figure out how to do this as well.

[@marcusvoght]

I loved this video, Dan. Your enthusiasm for film is so contagious. I wrote down about 5 movies from this list that I haven't seen yet and am looking forward to watching them someday.

[@DrewV5150]

Happy birthday, Schmoedown/ Screen Junkies/ Fandom GOAT! Thank you for the years of movie nerd content 🎬🎞📽📼

[@obara7366]

Happy Birthday Dan! I love you and all the passion and positivity you bring to the world and storytelling enthusiasts! I discovered you on Movie Fights close to a decade ago, and you were my fav person to watch back then even though I was a teenager who wasn't experienced enough in film and its history for a lot of your takes back then. But regardless, you pulled me in with your energy and enthusiasm.
My heart swells when you close out your videos with the little thumping over your heart. I may not really know you, and you definitely don't know who I am, but this 26 year old dubs thee her favourite "geriatric millennial".
Happy Birthday!

[@DanMurrellMovies]

Thanks so much for the very kind words and for watching for so many years!

[@armatey007]

"...it sparked a curiosity in me that I still have to this day." Cut to Jessica Rabbit saying, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn this way." Nice editing there. But seriously, I'm only 1 year younger than you, Dan, and I'm still kinda surprised how many movies you chose I would choose too for the same reasons. Happy Birthday!

[@johnnypopstar]

Similarly, albeit two years older. This video is a string of "ooooh *yes!* " moments one after the other. Happy birthday to all of us!

[@alexfromlgn4]

Well done, Dan. There are only 3 that you mentioned that I haven't seen, but probably 5-6 that I've seen BECAUSE you recommended them over the years. You continue to be my favorite movie critic. Happy Birthday!
