That Lon Chaney version of the Phantom had the scariest makeup of all horror movies and that was almost 90 years ago.

Vahan · 04-02-2014, 07:34 PM

Charles, that is a great list you have there. And I think Rope, at the time, had quite possibly the best camerawork in a film.

Anyways, my picks

1930's: The Wizard of Oz
1940's: Song of the South
1950's: Lady and the Tramp
1960's: A Hard Day's Night
1970's: Rocky
1980's: Back to the Future
1990's: Toy Story
2000's: Slumdog Millionaire
2010's: Toy Story 3
