Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Leon the Professional, Pulp Fiction, and Lion King.

I just haven't gotten around to seeing Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction and Lion King* didn't sound worthwhile, and I've never heard of Leon the Professional.

Umm, isn't it just The Professional?
 
The year a movie is released is quite different than the years it was made.

While I can't name a single 'best year' in movies, I do claim that the stretch of 1977-80 likely produced the best density of great films.

Too many to list, but we go from 'Star Wars' to 'Apocalypse Now' in a short span.
 
2147

damn.. you should see the FX they come up with... lifelike.

oh wait...

you guys haven't seen any of the movies from 2147 yet.


well.. lemme tell ya... DAMN!

 
I always like 1984. To bad Star Wars VI was in 1983 or that would act as the crown to 1984.

1984:
Beverly Hills Cop
Ghostbusters
Terminator
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Gremlins
The Karate Kid (Yes I am going there)
Police Academy


And if that is not enough:
Footloose
Romancing the Stone
Bachelor Party
The Last Starfighter
The Philadelphia Experiment (I loved it as a kid, so it is here)
Sixteen Candles


Omitted from my list, but 1984 non the less:
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Splash
This Is Spinal Tap
