The late 1930s/early 1940s were one of the best times for great cinema. Someone posted a list here a while back as part of a discussion on that era vs the mid-1980s.

Just watch every Kubrick movie, starting with The Killing (1956) and ending with Eyes Wide Shut.. Then throw in every best picture nominee from the 1970s.

That's the top of the heap.
