I don’t think it’s actually possible to pick a single “greatest” year for movies cos, frankly, who’se seen enough to be able to make such a claim seriously? However, this video which I watched the other night settles on 1957 for an answer… which really interested me, cos it’s not the most obvious year, but our author breaks down the worldwide range of films from that year, not just the Hollywood stuff, in a way that I actually came to find quite convincing. And at 1h45m, the video’s long enough to make its case with plentiful examples. Well worth watching.
