Sure this makes for good "The Movies the Year You Were Born" clickbait- but take a longer look. It's interesting to see what put butts in the seat vs. what made the Academy swoon. Sometimes it's the same movie. Sometimes (especially in the early 20's and 30's) you've never heard of the film. The last category is totally arguable. I mean, I love Pink Flamingos, but it ain't better than Cabaret or The Poseidon Adventure.
