70 Years of Cinema - 3 Best Pictures From Each Year 1949-2019 - Page 3

The Cinephile challange!
Here's a list of the best that the world of film can offer. I've sorted out the 3 best films from each year for the last 70 years, 1949-2019.
Since 2020 hopefully has more to offer, I've left them out.
The list is highly personal and therefore reflects my own personal taste in film.
Hope you'll enjoy!
