Best Year For Movies?

How famous is Un Homme et Une Femme in France? I really like the film (and included it on my 60's list) but I seem to be one of only a few that ever mentions it.

Also, leaving that off your list when you include crap like The Good, The Bad And The Ugly or Blow Up is just terrible.

Of all the film mark put forward (and there's some damn good ones there, too) I'd like to second Goodbye, Mr. Chips the most. I love that film and it'll definitely make my 30's list, whether it's combined with another decade or not.

1967 is probably the best year for me:

- Bonnie and Clyde
- Playtime
- Belle De Jour
- The Graduate
- Weekend

4 of these would make my top 100 if I made one now.

One particular year that I found was pretty good was 1981.

1981 films include Raiders of the Lost Ark, An American Werewolf in London, Escape from New York, The Evil Dead, and The Road Warrior. All very fun and excellent movies.

There's also some pretty acclaimed movies from that year that I still need to get around to watching such as Das Boot (own it but haven't watched yet) Chariots of Fire, Stripes, Time Bandits, The Howling etc.

Yes, you do need to watch Das Boot. Get it seen.

For American Cinema, as far as I'm concerned, you really can't beat New Hollywood.
The 70s are absolutely stacked with classics. Here's an overview that I made on Letterboxd.

My favorite in the past decade was probably 2007. Again, chiefly American Cinema.

There Will Be Blood
No Country for Old Men
Zodiac
The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford
Eastern Promises
Trick r' Treat
We Own The Night
