Rank Decades based on how good their movies were

[OSR stands with Israel]

I can only do this since the 1970s so here is mine

1. 1980s
2. 2000s(A very  close number two, and if aotc was a good a rotj it would be number one)  
3. 1990s
4. 1970s
5. 2010s.

[Mr. Smith]

I'm not doing this decade until its over, instead I'll add the 60's.

It chronologically gets worse and worse, until this decade finally moved the needle the correct way again (coincidentally politics returned a little leftwards from a rightwards drop)

In which planet was this decade movies better, I mean all you have are superhero movies ( which other then tdkr , avengers series , captain America have all been bad ) or remakes . This decade is the  TV show decade not the movie one

[Red Willow]

1980s
1970s
1990s
2000s
2010s

I've hardly seen any 2010s films though, the only one I enjoyed was Insidious.

[Cubby]

1930's
1940's
1950's
1980's
1960's
1990's



2000's

Yes, but these superhero movies at least have self-awareness and try to be fun.

Besides Spiderman, X-Men, Iron Man, and Nolan's films...the 2000s had a glut of superhero movies that took themselves too seriously [what else do you call Daredevil,Elektra, or Hulk anyway].

Any not melodramatic superhero movie all tied itself around terrorism or overplayed the need for America to save the day. And waaay too much Michael Bay. Oh and Dr. Seuss eff ups

And remakes were a problem back then too.

And animation has improved too, with DreamWorks being decidedly less obnoxious, Disney producing Wreck-It Ralphs and Zootopias instead of Chicken Littles and Homes on the Ranges, and things like The Boxtrolls or ParaNorman or The Book of Life. Also Pixar made Inside Out and TS3...before anyone says "muh Cars 2/Brave/MU"

the 2000s had the best die hard movie, had revenge of the sith , the harry potter series, Lord of the rings trilogy, the Bourne trilogy, It was the beginning of the best bond era since the 1960s, plus had the 2 best super hero movies ever The Dark Knight and Spiderman 2

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

As chaotic as the 70s were, it was amazing for films. Both Godfathers, Apocalypse Now, the first Star Wars, A Clockwork Orange, Monty Python, the first Alien film, etc.

[White Trash]

1. 1980s
2. 1990s
3. 2010s
4. 1970s
5. 2000s

[dead0man]

It's got to be the 70s on top.  My favorite movies are generally from the 90s, but that's because I'm generally from the 90s, but I can't deny the great sh**t that came out the decade I was born.  The Doctor named some, I'll add Blazing Saddles and Rocky to an already great list.  It was also the decade when the indie directors got out from under Roger Corman's awesome wing and started working for the studios.  John Waters, Mel Brooks and David Lynch all got big in 70s too.  The best horror movies are from the 70s... especially if you're more into creepyweird than blood, gore and jump scares.

2.90s
3.60s
4.80s
5.00s

[Enduro]

1. 1980s (a lot of classics made here)
2. 2000s (LOTR, Bourne, Harry Potter, etc.)
3. 2010s (how can I not high preference the decade with the majority of MCU films?)
4. 1990s (the movies aren't terrible)
5. 1970s
6. 1960s
7. 1950s (I saw one film, I didn't like it)

[DC Al Fine]

It's 2016 guys. We're just barely getting to the point where we can discuss and rank the 2000's. 2010's should be nowhere near decade lists yet.

[Miss J]

1. 1960s
2. 1950s
3. 1940s
4. 1930s
5. 1970s
6. 1990s
7. 1980s
8. 2000s
9. 2010s

[DINGO Joe]

#1--1970s

The rest.

[Edu]

Maybe because one tends to watch the ones that have stood the test of time, but the 1920's deserves at least a mention.

I mean, just the Buster Keaton movies are glorious, not to mention Chaplin, Fritz Lang, F W Murnau, Erich von Stroheim, soviet filmmakers like Pudovkin or Eisenstein, King Vidor, G W Pabst, etc.

[buritobr]

Depends on the tastes.

1980s was the golden decade of the entertainment movies: the last Star Wars of the original trilogy, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Blade Runner, ET, Goonies, Terminator, Karate Kid

2000s was a good decade for cult movies

[angus]

Lots of good films from the 1950s.  Too many to name.  Italian, French, and American Film noir was especially good from that period (Federico Fedellini, Auguste Le Breton, Robert Aldrich, etc.)

The 60s and early 70s were good too, especially the Sam Peckinpah movies and spaghetti westerns.  

The 1980s featured Fast Times, Ferris Beuller, Breakfast Club, ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and a bunch of peurile, but memorable films I remember from my high school days.  

The 90s featured Silence of the Lamb, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Forrest Gump, and quite a few others that I remember from my grad school days.  Also, a few good Spanish films from Pedro Almodóvar came from this decade.  

The 2000s featured a number of excellent films by Almodóvar, but little else.

I'd say it goes like this:

1.  50s
2.  60s & 70s (tie)
4.  90s
5.  80s
6.  Early 2000s

Pretty much anything after the Old 10's is solid. The medium was too new and growing at that point.

This decade is my least favorite since that point.
