Without looking at my list, I'd guess the majority of my favorite movies are from the 1990s. I do have favorites from the 30s-70s and of course more modern favorites as well, but I think the 90s would probably be the best decade for my personal taste.
As far as the poll goes, it's biased by it's very nature. People who don't watch older movies are less likely to take part in the poll, so your results are going to skew in favor of older films.
In general, I don't think filmmaking was better or worse in the 1940s than it is today, just different-- in so many ways. Some of today's best films still measure up with the classics though, and vice versa. Don't confuse the multitude of bad movies released every year with what modern filmmaking is actually capable of when effort is put into it.
