Best Ever year in movies tournament?

[videoheadcleaner]

Too many years to choose from. So many good movies, even back in 1950!

Allright, well Im going to go ahead and start a thread to hammer out the rules (not just to call dibs ) and we will take it from there. One key rule is for year verification and is that Im going strictly by what IMDB lists as the release year. Often that's when it was first publicly shown, not always commercialy released, but otherwise we're going to have too many arguments over what's the correct release date if we went by another method, so that's going to be set in stone. So I HIGHLY, HIGHLY SUGGEST you look through each year your favorites were released and make sure that it's a year you're willing to take on as a whole, as you'll likely need at least several movies if you plan to be competitive.

Here's an example of how to look up a year: type in Platoon on IMDB, click on the page, then click on the year and this page should pop up: http://www.imdb.com/search/title?year=1...meter,asc. obviously you can filter it anyway you want.

I found another site that did a similar tournament consisting of 32 teams (years) back in 2011. I won't divulge the results, as it's quite fun and suspenseful to go through each round and see the match-ups unfold. It's full of some stunning upsets and dominating victories.

I can't post a link but just Google this, it's the first result: best year in movies scorecard review

But I think you guys should do a Poll here as well to see how it compares. I haven't been able to find any other movie tournaments elsewhere on the web, so this could be only the 2nd one!

I'm definitely in. Dibs on 1999, though I think I may have seen someone already claim that earlier in the thread... backup dibs = 1988
