They are all great movies. so ivote for 2000s

Only because "300" is the greatest cinematographical work of art in human history other then that the 1990s is overall the best.

The best decade of movies are the best decade in general. Thanks a lot Hollywood

This was the greatest era for movies, period. Only era that comes close is the 2000's but the 80's had the most memorable and revolutionary movies of all time.

- The Indiana Jones Trilogy
- Back to the Future 1 & 2
- Ghostbusters 1 & 2
- Star Wars Episodes 5 & 6
- Blade Runner
- The Terminator
- E.T
- Robocop
- The Shining
- Beetlejuice
- Nightmare on Elm Street 1-5
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit
- Predator
- Aliens
- Scarface
- Batman

The list goes on and on for the most legendary movies released of all time in this era. The 70's and 90's suck compared to this.

I think the eighties had a perfect wholesome, easy to watch feel to almost every major movie from the time. I was born in the 2000's and consider the eighties to be my favorite movie decade. I would choose an eighties movie over a blockbuster today, any day.

How about the Terminator, Predator, Aliens, First Blood, Vacation, Caddyshack, Airplane, Top Gun, Jewel of the Nile, Romancing the Stone, the Goonies, Back to School, Stand By Me, Platoon and Full Metal Jacket. What a fun decade.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Goonies, The Breakfast Club, The Terminator, Top Gun, Die Hard, Gremlins, The Princess Bride...the list goes on and on. I'm a 90's kid and I still credit the 80's as the best decade in movie history.

90's? Look at the best pictures from the 70's The French Connection, The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Rocky, Annie Hall, The Deer Hunter, Kramer vs Kramer. Not to mention the masterpieces that did not win best picture like A Clockwork Orange, Five Easy Pieces, Cabaret, The Exorcist, Chinatown, Lenny, Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws, Star Wars, Heaven Can Wait, All That Jazz, Apocalypse Now. Vote up 70's! I am not saying the 90's had bad movies but the 70's just beats it by far.

Godfather, the filming of airplane ( I still count it), alien, star wars, jaws, blazing saddles, Willy wonka, clockwork Orange, taxi driver, the Exorcist, rocky, close encounters of the third kind, and monty python and the holy grail to name a few.

The Exorcist, Jaws, the Omen, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Last House on the Left, the Hills Have Eyes, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Phantasm, Dawn of the Dead and Carrie are some of the greatest horror movies ever.

I chose this one after watching Monty python and the holy grail. Its amazing. And if there were a reboot of that movie, it would SUCK!

There use to be a time when I watched 2-3 movies per month, now I might watch 2-3 per year. The previews to the movies aren't that exciting and that's showing the best scenes of a movie. I know that all the good ideas have been taken but some of these film companies don't seem to not try anymore. They are just looking to make a quick buck.

Horror, suspense, science fiction and almost anything superhero has saved this decade from total ruin. Comedies aren't that funny and drama's get too serious, sometimes hard to understand. I would rank the decade tied for 6th with the 1950's.

The only thing original anymore is the horror genre. It use to be nothing but repeats but not now. Comedies are weak and filthy, not that funny. Action and sci-fi are mostly reboots and sequels. Why can't anybody come up with anything new.

Bad decade for movies, even the reclining comfort and the alcohol sold in the movie theaters cannot save this decade. SuperHero infested decase, the death of movies, the rise of youtube.

Ah the birth of New Hollywood in 1967, the period that gave us The Graduate, In the Heat of the Night, Bonnie & Clyde, Funny Girl, Hello Dolly and Oliver!

Good, bad and ugly, 2001: Space Odyssey, Psycho, Paths of Glory, the Apartment, Spartacus, Sound of Music, Dr. No, so many greats this decade. So much technological advancement as well

To add to the list: dr strangelove, 2001 a space odyssey, planet of the apes, lawrence from arabia, etc.

60's because of the ton of incredible foreign movies. Fellini, Antonioni, Bergman, & Godard; just to name a handful.

Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Singing in the Rain, Peter Pan, Lady & the Tramp, The Bad Seed, The Shaggy Dog and Sleeping Beauty!

Laidback decade atmosphere.

'40s films just ooze atmosphere. The Maltese Falcon and Notorious are two more excellent movies from that decade.

I love the 30's! It was so laid back, back then. But also quite sad with the Great Depression and all. But it has one of my favorite films in it! JewEL ROBBERY! X3 It stars Kay Francis.

Universal monster movies are the best!

Sonic the Hedgehog, Birds of Prey and Bad Boys For Life before COVID, Black Widow, F9 afterwards and things are on the up with Jungle Cruise, The Suicide Squad and Daniel Craig's last outing as James Bond in No Time to Die

Better decade for movies. Which one of the movies of this decade today to watch for?
