SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 Someone names a year, and then the next person names what THEY THINK (personal opinions, not what won the most awards) is the best movie that came out that year. For example: POST 1: 1997? POST 2: Boogie Nights 1975? POST 3: Jaws 1994? POST 4: Pulp Fiction 1966? And so on and so forth. These pages might help: http://www.impawards.com/gallery.html http://www.imdb.com/chart/top ________________________________________ To start: 1983? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 Honestly, in earlier decades, it helps to look by director. I started with Billy Wilder, Hitchcock and Kurosawa and got 7 Samurai and Rear Window. Not too shabby. Ain't no beating Seven Samurai. 1999? American Beauty so barely over The Insider. One year the Oscars got it right. As a a caveat, I think The Insider was probably Russell Crowe's best acting performance, among many, many good ones (and he won for Gladiator? pffft) Or maybe Master & Commander... that movie got shafted. And I can't believe that Rocky beat Taxi Driver for Best Picture. I mean, I LOVE Rocky, but shit. 1950? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 Rashamon? Nice one. That movie owns. 1981? Elephant Man would totally win, (most Lynch movies do in my mind), but it's technically a 1980 movie. Looking at the Oscars, Chariots of Fire and On Golden Pond were the big winners, and they're good movies, but there's GOT to be better movies that year. I'll pass that one on. That's a stumper.
