For me the '90s wins comfortably. Behind that I'd have the '70s just beating out the '60s. What about you lot?
90's surely? Shawshank Redemption Goodfellas Saving Private Ryan The Big Lebowski The Green Mile Forrest Gump Schindlers' List The Lion King Pulp Fiction Fight Club T2
Seven Jurassic Park Usual Suspects Reservoir Dogs Matrix It just keeps giving. The '70s has some heavy hitters of its own though: Godfather Godfather II French Connection Chinatown Clockwork Orange Alien Dog Day Afternoon Serpico Marathon Man Taxi Driver Jaws Apocolypse Now There's a very good case that the '70s is actually better.
Impossible choice, but if you twist my arm today I might say the 60's, with the likes of The Longest Day, Mutiny on the Bounty, Bullitt, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, How The West Was Won, Dr. Strangelove, Sound of Music, Dr. Zhivago, The Graduate, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, 2001, The Italian Job, Bonnie & Clyde, Lawrence of Arabia, The Apartment, Psycho, The Wild Bunch, The Great Escape, The Hustler, Magnificent 7, Midnight Cowboy etc. etc. etc.
If I look at my list of alltime favourite films, 90s is the standout winner: Pulp Fiction Goodfellas The Shawshank Redemption Good Will Hunting Heat Unforgiven Schindler’s List The Matrix Braveheart American Beauty The Truman Show Terminator 2 Forrest Gump Fight Club Leon Princess Mononoke The Usual Suspects The Big Lebowski Jurassic Park LA Confidential Sling Blade American History X The Lion King Toy Story Fargo Life is Beautiful Groundhog Day Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels Seven Trainspotting True Romance Total Recall Reservoir Dogs Robin Hood & The Prince of Thieves The English Patient The Green Mile A Perfect World Gattaca Rushmore JFK Dances With Wolves The Last of the Mohicans Magnolia Dumb & Dumber Silence of the Lambs La Haine The Thin Red Line The Sixth Sense Natural Born Killers Boogie Nights Starship Troopers Shallow Grave Will add to this list later as I’m sure I’m missing lots...
70's, definitely. You could add The Conversation, Butch Cassidy..., All The Presidents Men, Capricorn One, The Andromeda Strain, Don't Look Now, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, The Exorcist, Star Wars, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Rocky, The Sting, Deliverance, Patton, Waterloo, Young Frankenstein, Murder By Death, The Man Who Would Be King, The Offense, Get Carter, Dirty Harry, Days Of Heaven, Network, The Last Detail, The Man Who Fell To Earth, The Sunshine Boys, Towering Inferno, Poseidon Adventure, Save The Tiger, Rollerball, etc...
Holy Grail. Such a good decade. For as good as the '90s is, it, along with the '80s, was jam-packed with American propaganda films.

I actually think Carlito's Way is overrated. I have arguments with my mate about it all the time. I also don't like Heat, which winds him up Scent of a Woman is a 'piece.
