re: What Decade Had The Best Movies?

This is a really hard question to answer. You can make an argument for any decade between the 50s and the 90s. Personally I vote the 1960s. It was the bridge between classic Hollywood and new Hollywood and as such was the last decade where the classic Hollywood epic--Lawrence of Arabia, How the West Was Won, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, The Alamo etc. was common and the first decade where new Hollywood--Bonnie and Clyde, Midnight Cowboy, The Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, etc. became prominent. Add in what European filmmakers like Leone and Fellini were doing and it was like going from black and white to technicolor.
