Post Re: List Your Favourite Film of Each Year
I've used the-numbers release date info before. It has fewer and fewer releases the further you go back, but it usually has a lot of good ones. Also, I think you can sort individual years on imdb by number of votes and ranking, which could help see what the most people have seen and what people like the most, but I could be wrong.

Post Re: List Your Favourite Film of Each Year
I'll go back to the year I was born. But consider that since I've only been a really serious movie watcher for a few years now, most of these picks aren't "authentic."

1990: Goodfellas
1991: Beauty and the Beast
1992: Unforgiven
1993: Schindler's List
1994: Forrest Gump (toughest year to pick since I also love Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption)
1995: Apollo 13
1996: Fargo
1997: Titanic
1998: Saving Private Ryan
1999: American Beauty

2000: Traffic
2001: Moulin Rouge
2002: Minority Report
2003: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
2004: Million Dollar Baby
2005: Munich
2006: The Departed
2007: There Will Be Blood

I've seen too few movies so:

2011: Super 8
2010: How to Train Your Dragon
2009: Half Blood Prince
2008: Speed Racer
2007: Ratatouille
2006: Dead Man's Chest
2005: King Kong
2004: Incredibles
2003: Finding Nemo
2002: The Two Towers
2001: Monsters Inc.
2000: Perfect Storm
1999: Toy Story 2
1998: Enemy of the State

Animation tends to be my favourite though hence the heavily-skewed list.

Post Re: List Your Favourite Film of Each Year
OK, this is my list of favorite films of each year -- not what I would consider the "best" film for each year but instead the film that I personally enjoy the most from that year.

It tends to be heavy on comedies. Guess that's just my style.

The frustrating thing, as some have noted here, is that some years were pretty darn terrible and other years had so many good films it is almost impossible to choose one.

1920 The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
1921 The Kid
1922 Nosferatu
1923 Our Hospitality
1924 Sherlock Jr.
1925 The Gold Rush
1926 Son of the Sheik
1927 Metropolis
1928 Steamboat Bill, Jr.
1929 The Cocoanuts
1930 Animal Crackers
1931 City Lights
1932 Horsefeathers
1933 Duck Soup
1934 It Happened One Night
1935 Bride of Frankenstein
1936 Modern Times
1937 The Awful Truth
1938 The Adventures of Robin Hood
