List 5 films from your favorite decade in movies

Me too. Best way to see it.

 

60s:
DR. STRANGELOVE
THE BIRDS
HIGH AND LOW
THE GRADUATE
THE APARTMENT

 

60s
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
The Odd Couple
The Party
A Shot in the Dark
The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming

 

70s for sure, (though there have been great films from every decade). The problem is narrowing the list down to five!

The Godfather
The Godfather, Part II
Chinatown
Young Frankenstein
Phantom Of The Paradise

 

Tough one, but I'll do one of each.

80s

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Footloose

Pretty In Pink

Sixteen Candles

The Breakfast Club

90s

A League Of Their Own

The Truman Show

Anaconda

Casper

The Little Rascals

 

Sixties for me for just about any art form- music, TV, movies, architecture, design, etc.

The problem for me is narrowing the choices. While I love the classics and good drama, I am really a sucker for mindless comedies and fun films. so...

It's a Mad. Mad. Mad, Mad World

Bikini Beach

Blue Hawaii

Help

Thunderball

There are a bunch of critically acclaimed 60s movies that I love, but I can watch the above five movies repeatedly.

 

Unforgiven
Se7en
Leon: The Professional
Quiz Show
Heat

 

'90's:

Eyes Wide Shut
The Rock
Con Air
Face Off
Amateur

 

‘70s

Apocalypse Now
Alien
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Annie Hall
The Godfather

 

" How could you forget about the wasp? "

 

Honorable mentions:

80s: The Terminator

90s: Matilda

 

70s:
Jaws
Three Days Of The Condor
The French Connection
Chinatown
High Plains Drifter

Oops. These threads seem to rattle me. I'm going to have to drop one of those because MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE came out in the 70s: The Sting. Doh!

 

1970s

Jaws
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Charley Varrick
Slap Shot
The Jerk

 

As a lifelong film buff, I don't think I have an absolute favorite decade for movies since I have so many favorites from every decade.
I'll go with five random favorites from the 1930s:

Duck Soup (1933)
A Tale of Two Cities (1935)
Night Must Fall (1937)
Merrily We Live (1938)
Ninotchka (1939)

 

1940s

 

1980s:
The Empire Strikes Back
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Ghostbusters
Superman II
The Karate Kid

And a bonus 2000s since no one did them yet...but the 1980s are definitely better than the 2000s:
Spider-Man 2
King Kong
Kill Bill Volume 2
Casino Royale
WALL-E

 

70s

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers

Grease

Jaws

Annie Hall

Alien

 

good lists. Yeah overall I think 90's was the best. I mean it had Speed, Boogie Nights, Philadelphia, and Office Space, action, drama, comedy.. and all good. Not to mention big movies like Titanic and the second Terminator

 

00's

Mean Girls

Mamma Mia!

The Princess Diaries

The Hangover

Cast Away

 

Siskel and Ebert covered the Napoleon rerelease on their show:

Gotta be the 70's:

Taxi Driver

 

As much as I love the 1980s I think the silent era is my go to these days..

1920s

Children of Divorce
It
Mantrap
Peter Pan
Hula

 

The exorcist has to go in there somewhere.

I can stay away from sharks

The 1940s (I can't possibly list all my favorites from the '40's)

They Live By Night
Odd Man Out
Out Of The Past
The Grapes Of Wrath
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn

Just five, impossible to list all my favorites. Best decade for movies for me, by far.

 

1940's... Even with WWII going on, so many great movies were made.
Just "listing" five, but where do I start with all the Abbott & Costello films of the 40's

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)
It's A Wonderful Life (1946)
Citizen Kane (1941)
The Grapes of Wrath (1940)
