Best Film of Each Year in Movie History

I don't have my favorites that well organized. If I picked up my top 100's lists in live action and animation and picked up the dates and ordered out the live action ones as being comparable to animation about half the position in the raking (25th place in animation equals to 50th place in live action) I think I could make something but many years would have holes in them.

My criticker account had it all ordered but I haven't updated it for over an year.

I'm guessing you watched two movies between 2013 and 2012?



I really like this question because I just started a blog about movie rankings. Im listing the best movies of each ear. I started in 2013 and Im already in 1995. for each ear there are about 15 movie suggestions.

If you would like to see the lists please visit mrankings.com/year/



Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right
https://rateyourmusic.com/list/mrmin..._year_by_year/

Not only the best from each year, but even up to 10 best from each year.

Some interesting choices here...

1940 I would have to go with The Philadelphia Story

1947 I have to go with Gentlemen's Agreement

1950 I still have to go with All About Eve, I know it's kind of a bandwagon choice, but I think the film is brilliant.

Very impressed with your choice of Bad Day at Black Rock for 1955

There are at least a dozen 1958 films that I can think of that were better than King Creole

Very pleased to see Dog Day Afternoon for 1975

I'm one of the few people on the planet who does not consider Annie Hall a masterpiece or deserving of the Best Picture Oscar it won

Love Groundhog Day for 1993



Lord High Filmquisitor
Between 1920 and 2014, there are only 8 years where I haven't seen any feature-length films. The only feature-length film that I saw before that was The Birth of a Nation. The quality of films that I've seen noticably dipped in the 1950s and started to break down in the 1940s (although, to be fair, that was mostly 1949's fault).

Looks like I better start filling in the gaps.
