There's a mostly vacant gap in my list from the 50s until recent times. That's because I was in high school in the 90s and watched movies that were new at the time, and starting around 2005-2006 I started watching older movies and completely lost interest in current stuff.

The ones above!
Damn! Really interesting thread. Some comments:
- Saw some with my Dad, because of the age issue
- thought "Summer of 42" and "The Exorcist" should have won in their respective years
- only liked the sinking sequence in "Titanic;" otherwise very much a chick flick
- thought "Slumdog Millionaire" was WAY more disturbing than "Silence of the Lambs," which at the time I thought was almost on par with "Seven" for being grisly
- my favorite of the ones I've seen is actually "American Beauty;" more so than the others, it was a film about life

I saw that movie twice in high school. Not sure why it wasn't in the OP or maybe I missed it?

Actually, I think there have been a lot of excellent movies since the 2000s. I really don't understand why people say current movies are bad. It wasn't like every movie that came out during the 20s-60s was great either. We only remember the best ones and I think future generations will have a lot of great movies to remember from our current era.

Oh I'm not saying there haven't been any good movies since the mid 2000s, I just haven't seen any of the Best Picture winners and it's not something I ever really think about. I'd probably like some of them if I ever saw them.
