Top 10 films 1965, 75, 85, 95, 05, and 2015. All Countdowns Complete!

Recommended Posts

So I've been trying to come up with a countdown that sounded unique, and I got this Idea to do a countdown of the top 10 best films from every year in a decade skimping 10 years, so starting in 2015 and I decided to go back 50 years to 1965. it's quite simple list your top 10 favorite films from 1965, 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015 so far, thought it would be a nice half waypoint for 2015 to see what's considered the best before Oscar season arrives. 

 

Rules for countdown, only lists films you like, if you have seen 13 released in 1975 but only thought that 7 were good films only list 7, if you've only seen a couple a year, you can list them as long as you liked them, I've only seen a couple certain years I'm sorry to say, so I'm counting on people well versed in the pre 1990s to submit lists, a complete list would obviously be great, the films must be considered feature length films (I believe that's 45 minutes or longer) No short films, can't be be porn, even if it was released in a theater. the films don't necessarily have to have been released in a theater, but they must have a page on IMDB. and cannot be a miniseries, or tv episode. 

 

Deadline August 30th

 

Score system:

 

 

Spoiler

#1 = 10 points

#2 = 9 Points 

#3 = 8 Points 

#4 = 7 Points

#5 = 6 Points

#6 = 5 Points 

#7 = 4 Points 

#8 = 3 Points 

#9 = 2 Points

#10 = 1 Point

 

 

Lists years individually.
