It turns out that the 1950s and 90s tied as my favorite movie decades! What happened to the 60s? Well, in making my chart, I discovered that a couple of movies I would have thought of as 60s movies were actually from 1959. Oh, so close. Can I make up my own decade? If I could, 1954-1964 would have the top number of my favorites. (Although, that would be 11 years instead of 10, wouldn't it? Hmm.)By the way, I also tried my results as a bar graph, which was slightly easier to read, but I went with the line graph because it makes a big "M" for movies!
What's your favorite decade for movies? I know I need to watch more films from the 30s. Am I missing out on a lot of good stuff from the 70s?

My decade graph makes me feel like a classic hater next to yours. I want to officially state that this is simply not the case. I think it's that the movies I tend to associate as my favorites are the ones I grew up with. Since I 'grew up' during the 1990's the majority of my favorites come from the 1990's.
It almost makes me want to create a list that forbids movies made after 1980. I think I only have one silent film in my list.
I understand loving the movies you grew up watching. Although I didn't grow up in the 50s, I grew up in a family that loved old movies. So, in a way, many of my favorites are ones I grew up with, too.
Watching these movies again as an adult is a lot of fun as I see all the things that went way over my head when I first saw them.
I love the M! :)
I'm still working on my top 50 ... when I finish, I'll have to do my own graph! I don't think it will be an M though.

David, don't feel bad. I have a higher percentage than even you, with 24 of my top 50 being from the 90s. I don't think I need to count the rest. They probably look like this: 18 from the 80s, 16 from the 00s and 2 from the 70s.
Then again, I pretty much am a "classic hater" (though I don't hate them - they just don't do it for me).
My favorite movies are from the 1990's and 2000's. That's the time when my brain made love to movies (whatever this means)..hehehe
A little trivia: The number of times I've watched finding nemo is 10. ;)

Even though I'm definitely a classic movie fan, I was surprised to see only one movie from the 2000's on my decade graph. I tried to remedy that a little in my Alphabet Meme list, adding 5 more films made in 2000 or later. Just had to prove that I have seen a few new movies in these last 9 years!
