Also an amazing year in videogames.&nbsp; I'm too lazy to prove why, but I'm pretty sure it was.

<p>1995 is a good choice, but I will have to go with 1999.

<p><font size="2">seven and the usual suspects are incredible movies, but i'd have to go with the year that contains american beauty, sixth sense, fight club and the matrix.&nbsp; i was all about to give it to '95, but now it's not even close, in my opinion. </font></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Yerdaddy]

<p>I took a stab at <a href="http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/index1975.php" target="_blank">1975</a> because I knew about Jaws and Cuckoo's Nest. Pretty fucking good year. At any rate, the 70's were the best decade for American film. </p><p>The Holy Grail<br />Jaws<br />One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest<br />Dog Day Afternoon<br />Three Days of the Condor<br />Rocky Horror Picture Show<br />The Eiger Sanction<br />Rollerball<br />Death Race 2000<br />Shampoo<br />Tommy<br />Barry Lyndon<br />The Shootist<br />French Connection II<br />The Stepford Wives<br />Return of the Pink Panther</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think I've beaten your 1995.</p>

[Freakshow]

1939

Gone with the Wind
The Wizard of Oz
Stagecoach
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

Plus the whole Poland thing. Awesome.

How about the list of 39 births? I wouldn't have thought even
two of these people were the same age.

James Caan
Fancis Ford Coppola
Paul Hogan
Paul Sorvino
Harvey Keitel
George Hamilton
Ian McKellan
Lily Tomlin
Wes Craven
John Cleese

[TheMojoPin]

<p>OK, here is, in my opinion, a much better list of the quality films that came out in 1999.&nbsp; I agree that other eras, namely the late 60's to the late 80's, can't be topped for some of the great produced, but I can see the argument that 1999 might be the&nbsp;single best year&nbsp;in terms of excellent or at least chance-taking films.&nbsp; Check it out:</p><p><em>American Beauty</em></p><p><em>American Psycho</em></p><p><em>Being John Malkovich</em></p><p><em>Boys Don't Cry</em></p><p><em>Dogma</em></p><p><em>Election</em></p><p><em>Fight Club</em></p><p><em>Go</em></p><p><em>The Insider</em></p><p><em>The Limey</em></p><p><em>Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels</em></p><p><em>Magnolia</em></p><p><em>The Matrix</em></p><p><em>Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A.

I lean towards 1999 because of Fight Club, American Beauty and Dogma.&nbsp;
