For those of you who have some time on your hands like I do this afternoon, this thread is to post your pick of the best film of each year of the Oscars. In my opinion, the Academy usually gets it wrong. I am only going up to 1970. I don't care much about later films.
1928 - Wings 1929 - The Cocoanuts 1930 - All Quiet on the Western Front 1931 - M 1932 - Grand Hotel 1933 - King Kong 1934 - The Lost Patrol 1935 - The 39 Steps 1936 - Modern Times 1937 - Lost Horizon 1938 - The Lady Vanishes 1939 - (tie) The Wizard of Oz / Gone With the Wind 1940 - The Great Dictator 1941 - How Green Was My Valley 1942 - Casablanca 1943 - Ivan the Terrible 1944 - Going My Way 1945 - Dead of Night 1946 - Shoeshine 1947 - Bicycle Thieves 1948 - Hamlet 1949 - On the Town 1950 - Rashomon 1951 - The River 1952 - The Wages of Fear 1953 - The War of the Worlds 1954 - Rear Window 1955 - Diabolique 1956 - The Ten Commandments 1957 - The Bridge on the River Kwai 1958 - Touch of Evil 1959 - (tie) Ben-Hur / North by Northwest 1960 - The Apartment 1961 - Judgment at Nuremberg 1962 - Lawrence of Arabia 1963 - From Russia With Love 1964 - The Pink Panther 1965 - Doctor Zhivago 1966 - A Man For All Seasons 1967 - War and Peace 1968 - 2001: A Space Odyssey 1969 - On Her Majestys Secret Service 1970 - Woodstock

Strictly sticking to Best Picture NOMINEE's ONLY for choosing my favorite of the following years (ill just list the years i gave at least one movie a 7/10 or higher(which makes everything below amongst my favorite movies in general(which is my Top 200 movies)))...
1943 - The Song of Bernadette (the oldest movie i gave a 7 or higher)
1961 - The Hustler (this also happens to be the oldest movie i like to a high degree. i give it a 9/10.) 1969 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
1972 - The Godfather 1974 - The Godfather Part II 1979 - Apocalypse Now
1988 - Rain Man
1990 - The Godfather Part III 1994 - Pulp Fiction (within my Top 29 movies. with that said... Forrest Gump/The Shawshank Redemption are worth mentioning to) 1995 - Braveheart (within my Top 10 movies) 1996 - Jerry Maguire (within my Top 29 movies) 1997 - Good Will Hunting (within my Top 29 movies) 1999 - The Green Mile (within my Top 10 movies)
2000 - Gladiator 2002 - Gangs of New York 2004 - The Aviator (although Sideways is worth mentioning to) 2005 - Munich (not much outside of my Top 29 movies) 2006 - The Departed 2007 - No Country for Old Men (within my Top 29 movies. with that said... Juno is worth mentioning to) 2009 - Up in the Air (not much outside of my Top 29 movies)
2010 - True Grit (on a side note... this is MUCH better than the John Wayne movie(which is below average)) 2011 - The Descendants 2012 - Django Unchained 2013 - Captain Phillips (although Nebraska/The Wolf of Wall Street are close(all three a 7/10 for me))
NOTE: i have not seen all of the best picture nominee's, obviously, but i doubt my opinion would change (i.e. i can't imagine many, if any, others i have not seen being good enough to make the above list) had i seen them all.
NOTE: only 30 Best Picture Nominee's are amongst my favorite movies in general, which makes up 15% of my favorite movies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My personal #1 movies of each year of any movies released in general (ONLY counting years i have at least one movie that scores a 7 or higher for me personally)...
1943 - The Song of Bernadette
1961 - The Hustler 1962 - Dr. No 1963 - From Russia with Love 1964 - Goldfinger 1965 - For a Few Dollars More 1966 - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 1968 - Once Upon a Time in the West 1969 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
1970 - Two Mules for Sister Sara 1971 - Dirty Harry 1972 - The Godfather 1973 - Magnum Force 1974 - The Godfather Part II 1975 - Hard Times 1979 - Apocalypse Now
1983 - Risky Business 1984 - The Terminator 1985 - After Hours 1986 - The Color of Money 1987 - Plains Trains & Automobiles 1988 - Rain Man 1989 - Licence to Kill
1990 - The Godfather Part III 1991 - Point Break 1992 - My Cousin Vinny 1993 - Carlito's Way 1994 - Pulp Fiction 1995 - Braveheart 1996 - Jerry Maguire 1997 - Good Will Hunting 1998 - Meet Joe Black 1999 - The Green Mile
2000 - Gladiator/The Family Man 2001 - Training Day 2002 - Road to Perdition 2003 - Open Range 2004 - The Aviator 2005 - Lord of War 2006 - Casino Royale 2007 - No Country for Old Men 2008 - Gran Torino 2009 - Up in the Air
2010 - The American 2011 - Source Code 2012 - Skyfall 2013 - Before Midnight 2014 - Men, Women & Children 2015 - Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation 2016 - The Magnificent Seven
We must be nearly polar opposites on movies as a whole then as...
...i generally avoid movies prior to the 1960's (they are just too different in overall style etc (basically what i call 'dated') from more modern movies, which i see as a bad thing (maybe some people, like you, generally like that style?(it's just harder to get into movies like that))) and the vast majority of my favorite movies are from the 1990's to date as for measure... out of my favorite movies, which is all movies i gave a 7/10 or higher(which is 200 movies currently), only 41 of them are pre-1990's, which is basically only about 1 out of every 5 of them. if we stick strictly within my Top 100-ish movies that figure further drops to only... 21 movies, which is only about 1 out of every 10 movies.
basically really old movies lack some sorta emotional connection to the movies in general if you ask me as i feel the way movies are done in general way back are nothing like more modern movies on the whole, which i see as a bad thing. modern movies (lets call 'modern movies' roughly from the 1960's or maybe even the 1980's on forward) just tend to be more polished on the whole, especially in terms of volume of quality movies.
p.s. only 199 movies out of the 2,025+ total i have seen are what i consider my favorite movies, which is every movie i scored a 7/10 or higher.
