Noticed a lot of comments in recent threads about how modern films don't hold up against older films. I've always noticed among my favorites, "twin peaks" around the 50s/60s and more recent films with a slump in the 70s and 80s
Looking solely at 10/10 films, the 1960s tower over any other decade but the three most recent decades come out quite well. I understand this method isn't the be all and end all but it's an interesting comparison.
From 30 films rated 10/10
1940s: X [1]
1950s: X X X X X X [6]
1960s: X X X X X X X X X [9]
1970s: X X [2]
1980s: X [1]
1990s: X X X [3]
2000s: X X X X X [5]
2010s: X X X [3]
How do the decades stack up for you?

I am very stingy with my grading… There are probably a few films I have rated 9 from each decade that could go up on revision.
1920s – 2
1930s – 5
1940s – 9
1950s – 13
1960s – 8
1970s – 7
1980s – 4
1990s – 4
2000s – 1
2010s - 0

From the 6 movies I gave a 10/10... 1960's - 2 (Good Bad Ugly (1966)/Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)) 1990's - 1 (Braveheart (1995)) 2000's - 3 (Road to Perdition (2002)/Lord of War (2005)/Gran Torino (2008)) NOTE: ill be likely re-watching the two 1960's movies before this year is finished etc. p.s. 9/10's and especially 10/10's are fairly rare for me... ten 9/10's and six 10/10's, so a total of 16 movies. for comparison to about 6-7 years ago... looking at the year 2013 for me (which was accurate at least as of Nov-Dec 2013 time frame) there was 73 movies. that's a 78.1% decrease! ; my 10/10's at that time were likely at least triple my current figure from a quick estimated count looking at the movies there in my text file as I did not have them separated by 9's or 10's but I should be pretty close from memory as by memory it was probably about 21-ish movies at that time got a 10/10 from me.
but with that said... I think my standards were a bit lower back in those days (or I was a bit more easily pleased) as my current rating system never took effect til I think it was Sep 2014. like prior to about Sep 2014, 7's and higher = Thumbs Up, 6's and lower = Thumbs Down. but since about Sep 2014 to date... 6's and higher = Thumbs Up, 5's and lower = Thumbs Down. because too many movies were being bunched into the 7/10 score and once I used the 6/10 as a Thumbs Up it just made the 7/10 score worth more that way and separated things quite a bit better. because as a general rule for me... 5's and lower I won't re-watch (with rare exception(like if I decide to give a movie another chance)) and 6's and higher I will re-watch and like I always say, a movies true worth is whether the viewer wants to re-watch a movie from time-to-time or not as those that have no re-watch value are ultimately a Thumbs Down as that's a great way to separate the good movies from everything else. only about 20% tops of everything I have seen is worth re-watching. but with this said... I don't think this would have much effect on my 9/10's and 10/10's but I definitely had WAY to many movies into the 7's and 8's scores back in those days I am sure given the rather high volume on 9's and 10's (73 total movies for the 9's and 10's combined).
--------------------------------------------------------------------- but in general not many movies score high enough to be among my favorites... 10/10 = 6 movies 9/10 = 10 movies SOLID 8/10's = 23 movies 7.5-8/10 = 39 movies 7/10's = 78 movies 6-6.5/10 = 34 movies (these movies are a bit shy of favorite movie status) that's 156 (190 if you count the 6-6.5/10's) movies out of the 2,300+ total movies I have seen that are among my favorite movies in general.
p.s. I never restrict ratings on movies just to restrict them. it's just purely a rating based on how much I like a movie overall as movies that are as good as a movie can get, gets a 10/10 and then things scale back fairly evenly from there. but once a movie falls below a 7/10 it's no longer enjoyable enough for me to consider a favorite. although my 6-6.5/10's are close to favorite movie status.
