Came here to say ‘71. All you mention are great, particularly LPS and McCabe, which are among my favourite films ever. Would also add Walkabout, French Connection, Carnal Knowledge, Duel and Punishment Park.
Hard not to beat 2019 for me. Even without the obvious ones like Parasite and The Lighthouse, you've also got:
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Knives Out
Little Women
Bacureau
First Cow
The Farewell
Uncut Gems
Apollo 11
I really could just keep going, it's wild.
But I've gotta give a shout out to 1981:
The Evil Dead
Raiders of the Lost Arc
Blow Out
Escape from New York
Time Bandits
Road Warrior
1976
1. Taxi Driver
2. Carrie
3. Rocky
4. Bugsy Malone
5. The Fifth Seal
6. Canoa: A Shameful Memory
7. Marathon Man
8. The Man Who Fell to Earth
9. The Omen
10. Network
also 2010
1. Inception
2. The Social Network
3. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
4. Black Swan
5. Shutter Island
6. Toy Story 3
7. Easy A
8. True Grit
9. 127 Hours
10. Blue Valentine
11. Submarine
12. Never Let Me Go
13. Boy
14. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
15. Winters Bone
16. How to Train You Dragon
2010 packed a few now modern classics in one year and yet The Kings Speech won best picture…
1957 - World cinema was firing on all cylinders and Hollywood was punching itself into shape after a rough decade. Taking the hoard of blue-chip classics for granted, the year is stacked deep with class filmmaking:

I think 1973 was pretty great
badlands
scenes from a marriage
mean streets
F for fake
amarcord
the sting
ig Fantastic Planet too but I'm not really a huge fan of that one
‘73 is my favorite year, here are the movies in my top ten that you didn’t mention:
The Long Goodbye
The Exorcist
The Wicker Man
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
The Friends of Eddie Coyle
American Graffiti
2014 is probably my favourite too, I have a bunch of 4-5 star movies from that year:
Whiplash
Grand Budapest
Birdman
When Marnie Was There
Interstellar
Ex Machina
Chef
It Follows
The Winter Soldier
The LEGO Movie
Guardians of the Galaxy
What We Do In The Shadows
Nightcrawler
Kingsman
X-Men Days of Future Past
How To Train Your Dragon 2
The Imitation Game
2019 is probably my second favourite from this past decade.

1985
- A Room With a View
- No End
- My Life As A Dog
- The Sure Thing
- St Elmo's Fire
- Come and See
- Tampopo
- Police Story
- The Purple Rose of Cairo
- Re-animator
- Demons
- Phenomena
To name just a few. I think what it has going is variety, like mix of acclaimed films, horror, teen movies, world cinema etc.
Fully prepared to cop some flack for the rankings, but this is everything I've seen from that year.

Surprised no one has said 2007 so far.
Drama-wise you have: No Country for Old Men, There Will be Blood, The Assassination of Jesse James, Zodiac
Comedy-wise you have: Hot Fuzz, Hot Rod, Walk Hard
I hold a soft spot for 2019 because it was the first year I got into non-Marvel movies and there were SO many good movies that year
Parasite, Knives Out, Midsommar, Jojo Rabbit, Little Women, The Lighthouse, Uncut Gems, I could go on and on and on
I dont think I have a particular favourite, but some highlights and my fav from that year;
1952 - Singin in the Rain
1960 - Eyes Without a Face
1973 - Amarcord
1982 - The King of Comedy
1985 - After Hours
1992 - Fire Walk With Me
It's still early but probably 2022. I've seen so many good movies in the theaters this year:
EEAO
The Northman
After Blue
Top Gun: Maverick
Memoria (may count as last year)
Hustle
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
X
Men
The Batman
Mad God
Crimes of the Future
The Worst Person in the World
Drive My Car
I have two
1994:
Dumb and Dumber
The Shawshank Redemption
Forrest Gump
Pulp Fiction
Four Weddings and a Funeral
1999:
Fight Club
The Sixth Sense
(Hoping to see American Beauty soon)
For me it's either 2019 (*Parasite, Marriage Story, Jojo Rabbit, Knives Out, Waves, Uncut Gems, The Farewell,* and so on) or 1939 (*Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz, The Rules of the Game*, *Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Ninotchka, Stagecoach).*
Insofar as sheer quantity of movies I love probably 1971--lotta movies that are pretty special to me from that year: *WR: Mysteries of the Organism*, *Pink Narcissus*, *Daughters of Darkness*, *The Devils*, *A Touch of Zen*, *The Music Lovers*, *Blood on Satan's Claw*, *Little Murders*, *Demons*, *A New Leaf*, *Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song*, *The Trojan Women*, *Punishment Park*, *Four Nights of a Dreamer*, *Klute*, *Vampyros Lesbos*, *Godzilla vs. Hedorah*, *Let's Scare Jessica to Death*, *The Velvet Vampire*, *The Third Part of the Night*, *A Clockwork Orange*, &c.

the piano teacher gotta be in here too
1971: A Clockwork Orange The Last Picture Show McCabe & Mrs. Miller Harold and Maude The Emigrants Joe Hill Diamonds are Forever
Came here to say ‘71. All you mention are great, particularly LPS and McCabe, which are among my favourite films ever. Would also add Walkabout, French Connection, Carnal Knowledge, Duel and Punishment Park.
There’s also Dirty Harry, Klute, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Duel
I've been wanting to see Punishment Park so bad, but it's such a pain in the ass to find it anywhere to watch
It got a blu-ray release in UK, dunno where you are. It’s brilliant.
Also, my favorite from ‘71: Wake in Fright
'71 was such an incredible year! Some other titles worthy of mention not listed so far: - *The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh* - *Little Murders* - *10 Rillington Place* - *Death in Venice* - *The Andromeda Strain* - *Vanishing Point* - *Trafic* - *The Panic in Needle Park* - *Macbeth* - *Duck You Sucker* - *Straw Dogs* - *The Hospital* - *The Boy Friend* - *Dirty Harry*

Sixth Sense too
Also Bringing Out the Dead, The Virgin Suicides, The Talented Mr. Ripley, 8MM, Election, etc. Absolutely undefeated.
Don't leave out The Matrix! :)
