For me it's the '70s by a RUDICULOUS margin.

Personally I feel that the movies of the 50's were more epic, original, and had better acting and directing. Movies today seem to rely on special effects and beautiful actors instead of talented ones.

I don't much understand these decade threads. It's hard to see why the newest decade shouldn't be the best by default.

Pretty impressed considering they're less than half over, gotta say. Looking forward to the next seven years.

Really difficult to choose a decade. I think for me it's between the 60's, 70's and 2000's.
1960's:
2001
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Great Escape
Cool Hand Luke (a serious contender for my favourite film EVER had it not been for The Godfather five years later)
In the Heat of the Night
Blow-Up
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
From Russia With Love (they're two of the Bond films that deserve recognition as films in their own right, FRWL and OHMSS)
Thunderball (yeah, it's another Bond, but this was one of my first movie experiences on VHS as a kid, still a great film today)
The Longest Day
1970's:
All 25 films on the following list (along with the first Godfather, the greatest film ever made, which for some reason was excluded; these folks must be in the "Part II is better" camp):
http://www.shortlist.com/entertainment/...of-the-70s
2000's:
Traffic (best film made in my lifetime so far)
Road to Perdition (Sam Mendes' best film; you'll watch this and then go "Man, FUCK American Beauty" after you see it. Seriously.)
Casino Royale (the best Bond film and just outright one of the best movies ever shot, I fell in love with this movie in the theater 7 years ago and it's only gotten better as time's gone by)
Hotel Rwanda
The Last King of Scotland (my god, Forest Whitaker's performance... one of the top ten captured on screen in the past twenty years, for sure)
The Departed Infernal Affairs (I have to give it to the original over the remake... though I love Scorsese and The Departed is certainly a contender for the best remake of all time)
Man on Wire
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Memento
Half Nelson (whatever you think of Ryan Gosling, he was absolutely fantastic in this movie)
Up
LOTR trilogy
My god. Now I'm thinking of everything that came out in the 90's, too. Add that decade in as well (I've not got the time to cite examples, unfortunately). Can't choose between those four decades. Cinema has truly been a remarkably consistent art form for the past 50 years or so. You just have to know where to look to find the good movies.

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
Rushmore
Being John Malkovich
Barton Fink
Troll 2
Seven
Office Space
Magnolia
Fight Club
Eyes Wide Shut
Trainspotting
Fargo
Chunking Express
Dazed & Confused
Groundhog Day
Bottle Rocket
Welcome To The Dollhouse

For me it'd either be the 80's or the 2010's. The 80s because the atmosphere in all the films beiong produced was always so rich. 10s because of the sheer volume of amazing stuff that's come out in just a few years.
