1. Planet of the Apes- an absolute classic
2. Barbarella- A young Jane Fonda can be queen of my galaxy any day of the week
3. The Odd Couple- Lemmon and Matthau were a great team and spawned a great TV show
Godfather 2, Longest Yard, Blazing Saddles (although some may plug Chinatown into the top 3)
Other good ones - Man with the Golden Gun, one of the better Bond films, and Death Wish (which apparently my parents went to see the night before I was born)
Heck, three of the top 4-5 desert movies of all time all got made in that single year--Beau Geste, Gunga Din and The Four Feathers. And they weren't even in the top 10 for the year, by some rankings.
Look at this list, ranked by average rating. And look at the ones ranked 8-12. Heck, they would be top 5 in many years. Link - ( New Window )
that is impressive; must be something about world war breaking out/about to break out that spurred all that creativity...
for me (one of RC02XX's old fucks, 1947: those I've seen:
Dark Passage (Bogie/Bacall)
Miracle on 34th Street
Road to Rio (Hope, Crosby & Lamour, classic fun)
also:
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
Perils of Pauline
Ramrod (Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake)
Song of the Thin Man (William Powell and Myrna Loy--didn't see this, but it's the film The Thin Man series was based on--loved to watch that fluff)
The Fugitive (Henry Fonda and Delores Del Rio, yup, that one)

West Side Story

Not even close. You might want to check out 1939.
