I am thinking that your age would greatly influence your decision here? many of us believe the movies that we watched as children are the best and should carry the award of best movies.
Theres no doubt that over time technology has moved on and producers have been capable of more advanced special effects creatign a more encompassing experience. But is that what it boils done to? Is a good movie about special effects and the quality of the film? I think not. One thing that hasnt changed is the ability and creativity of the producer to capture the imagination of the audience. Its true that movies makers have had a life long battle with censorship but that aside, the 20's through to the 00's have a level playing field.
The 60's saw a change in the culture of film with new techniques and more relaxed censorship, the birth of modern day cinema was about us with hoards of teens and others heading for the box office.
Retro Media Votes the 1960's as being the decade for producing the best movies.
