What was best decade for movies! 30,s 40,s 50, 60,s 70,80, 90, 2000-2006?

Question

My pick would be 1940,s

Answer 1

Hmmm...I'd have to go with the 60's and 70's. But I do love the 40's. Screw it, I love 'em all. LOL Each decade has at least one or two films that either define the decade or stand on their own. :)

Answer 2

Tough call but it's between the '60s & '70s for me. (I go back to the '50s but the thing I remember most is crying during "Old Yeller" in '57 and watching "Hercules Unchained" in '59)
I prefer the '60s, because like theTV shows, everything was "swinging" and those were my teenage years.
The '70s were noteworthy for the advent of "Adult" films. They actually had some imagination and were as enjoyable, at least to a certain extent, as any other movie.
I doubt I saw five films in the eighties and, in fact, didn't start going to movies with any sort of regularity until the late nineties. In the last six or seven years, however, I generally try to see at least one or two, and occasionally three, per week. In spite of that, however, they really don't make 'em like they used to. In my opinion, there are only two names keeping the mainstream industry alive these days: Tarantino & Depp. Beyond that, it's independant films for me!

Answer 3

1960s: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966-Italian release), Magnificent Seven (1960), Dr. Strangelove (1964), Fail-Safe (1964), Easy Rider (1969), Bedazzled (1967), Hard Day's Night (1964), Bonnie & Clyde (1968), the Valachi Papers (1963), the St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967), Requiem For A Heavyweight (1962), It's a Mad World (1963), Yellow Submarine (1968), Casino Royale (1967), and on and on and on...60s RULE!

Answer 4

The 60's and 70's

Answer 5

Late 80's - Mid 90's

Answer 6

80s

Answer 7

I like new movies. For some reason I could never get into black adn white movies even though they are just like new movies. I don't think the old movie had as much action as the ones that have come out in that past 10 years have.

The 1970s revolutionized movie making. You should read "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls" about this time frame. Fascinating.
