Ever since the early days of the Kinetoscope and nickelodeons, filmmakers have been pointing cameras at people and putting their stories up on a screen. And ever since the invention of film, people have been talking, debating, and arguing about movies. Most notably, one of the biggest questions among cinephiles is, "What's the best year in movie history?" Which year has contributed the most to pop culture and cinema? Which year has produced the strongest stories with the most compelling actors, rousing scores, and daring directors?
Well, certain years definitely stand out from the rest of the cinematic pack. These are the years that gave us iconic characters, memorable movie moments, and lines that everyone around the world can quote. From classic Hollywood to recent memory, these are the greatest years in movie history.
1939, 1959, 1967, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1982, 1994, 1999, 2007, 2016, 2017
