re: Was 1939 the greatest year for new movie releases in film history?

I talked about it in the ZD30 thread but 2012 was a great year for cinema.

I’m not saying any of those will make any top 10 lists or anything. Nothing compared to 1939 of course. In fact, Argo winning best picture is laughable (I still like it,) but that was such a good year from top to bottom of enjoyable films. It was one of the rare years where I had seen almost all of the best picture nominees and liked them as opposed to some limited release movie I’ve never heard of.
