There were a few all-time classics in '01, but the overall best would probably have to be

Although. while I haven't seen all of these, some others that I know are very good as well include:

no that's fair, Monsters Inc is fantastic, I watched it a ton as a kid.

It's just, when it's sitting right next to the first in arguably the greatest trilogy of all time... haha.

1985 and it has a great lineup. Back to the future is my favourite but other awesome movies released that year:

the breakfast club

goonies

legend

return to oz

Teen wolf

commando

Reanimator

St Elmo’s Fire

Brazil

Day of the Dead

Weird Science

Fright night

Return Of The Living Dead

I couldn't hold that one in for even 5 min.

I definitely don't remember Vader physically picking that guy up.  Guessing that was a scene that got changed to Vader choking the guy with the force?

Yeah has to, look at the(c) date, it's the original really early pre-trailer I guess as it's dated 1976 for a 1977 a late spring/early summer release.  I never seen it before, it blew me away the subtle changes from what the 1977 trailer when it ran/or near ran along with the final cut too so I linked it instead.

There are several classics from 1957:

Bridge on the River Kwai
12 Angry Men
Designing Women
Funny Face
Gunfight at the OK Corral
Old Yeller
Slaughter on Tenth Avenue
The Three Faces of Eve
Witness for the Prosecution

but I'm going to have to go with the Academy here: Bridge on the River Kwai is a truly great film, and I've got that dang song stuck in my head. "Comet! It makes your teeth turn green..."

More importantly, we had enough SciFi schlock to fill several seasons of MST3K. Check out these titles:

20 Million Miles to Earth
Attack of the Crab Monsters
The Brain from Planet Arous
The Daughter of Dr Jekyll
From Hell it Came
The Giant Claw
I Was a Teenage Frankenstein
I Was a Teenage Werewolf
The Incredible Shrinking Man
Invasion of the Saucer Men
The Invisible Boy
Love Slaves of the Amazons
Monster from Green Hell
The Monster that Challenged the World
The Night the World Exploded
Reform School Girl
Voodoo Women
Zombies of Mora Tau

Bridge on the River Kwai

Ah, that would definitely be my pick. An Alec Guiness classic, and possibly my favorite of his... after Star Wars, of course.

I Was a Teenage Werewolf

Ah, is that the one with a teenage Micheal Landon?  My wife and I still reference that MST3K from time to time with the "He Beefed!" bit.

That's the one! Oddly enough, I've yet to see the MST3K version. Have to put that on the list.

It might be a top 5 for me.  There's no particular reason.  It's just a really good episode.  Plus, Micheal Landon is awesome and was always such a clean-cut guy.  It's novel to see him playing a bad boy.

Lest we not forget - one of my faves was Roger Corman's "The Undead".

I'd add Crimes and Misdaemeanors,The Abyss, Pet Sematary, to tier 1 and then Bill and Ted, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Look Who's Talking, Field of Dreams, Back to the Future ll, and Ghostbusters ll to a second tier.

I think War of the Roses might have been good too, but I forget.
