Slick Will
I will have to go with the 90s. All of my favorite films came out in the 90s such as Fight Club, The Big Lebowski, Se7en, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, The Matrix, Office Space, Dazed and Confused, Being John Malkovich, etc.
I also like 70s movies such as A Clockwork Orange, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Star Wars: A New Hope.
Answer
I find that I'm pretty much in sync with IMDB.com ratings with some exceptions and I appreciate all fims, even animated, and some foreign films performed or even dubbed to English. I also know that more and more films came out in each decade and the budgets in real constant dollars got bigger and bigger. I appreciate great special effects as well as a fantastic story or great acting. So bottom line, I did a scientific approach because I've seen thousands of films (literally) and it gets hard to remember every name without seeing titles again. Using 7.9 to the 9.2 maximum of films with at least 2000 votes in English, there were 400 great films since 1940 that met the criteria. Using a relative weighting where 7.9 gets an 86% of the 9.2 and adding up the films in each decade, the 2000's (2000-2009) win over the 1990's (1990-1999), though both had great films, and the best films of the 90's were better than those of the 2000's. There were just more great films later.
Hard to make cut-off's, but this is 2000's
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2003, The Dark Knight 2008, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2001, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2002, Memento 2000, The Pianist 2002, The Departed 2006, WALL·E 2008, Requiem for a Dream 2000, Gladiator 2000, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2004 (but in this case, I list it and disagree finding it too disjoint), The Prestige 2006, Snatch 2000, Batman Begins 2005, Gran Torino 2008, Inglourious Basterds 2009, Up 2009, Donnie Darko 2001
In the 1990's, there were actually less great films, but those they were excellent :
The Shawshank Redemption 1994, Pulp Fiction 1994, Schindler's List 1993, Goodfellas 1990, Fight Club 1999, The Silence of the Lambs 1991, Forrest Gump 1994, The Usual Suspects 1995, Se7en 1995, The Matrix 1999, Terminator 2: Judgment Day 1991, Léon: The Professional 1994, American History X 1998, Prime Suspect 1991, Saving Private Ryan 1998, American Beauty 1999, Reservoir Dogs 1992
1980's
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 1980, Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981, The Shining 1980, Back to the Future 1985, Aliens 1986, Raging Bull 1980, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street 1982, Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi 1983, Once Upon a Time in America 1984, Amadeus 1984, Full Metal Jacket 1987, The Elephant Man 1980, Blade Runner 1982, Die Hard 1988, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 1989, The Thing 1982, Scarface 1983, Platoon 1986
1970's:
The Godfather 1972, The Godfather: Part II 1974, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1975, Star Wars 1977, Apocalypse Now 1979, A Clockwork Orange 1971, Taxi Driver 1976, Alien 1979, The Sting 1973, Chinatown 1974, Monty Python and the Holy Grail 1975, Jaws 1975, Network 1976, Annie Hall 1977, The Deer Hunter 1978
And despite not being on the list of great ones, I loved Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Mel Brooks got it down right back then.
All movies are personal preference though. Some people like movies that most consider terrible.

What star wars book would take the place of the 7th movie?
vivaladan0
im having trouble finding the name of the books that tell the story of what would be the 7th 8th and 9th movie. any that continue the story of luke han and lea?
Answer
Lucas has denied having any plans in mind for movies 7-9. I remember when I was a kid, the rumors were that there would be 9 movies, but Lucas' official statements in the last few years have been that it was always planned to be 6 movies, no more.
There are many books that continue the Luke/Han/Leia storylines. The "Heir to the Empire" trilogy is a good suggestion, but there's also the Jedi Academy trilogy, the Black Fleet Crisis trilogy, the young Jedi Knights books (Han + Leia's kids...), and solo stories like The Crystal Star and The New Rebellion.
Taking place about 25-29 years after "A New Hope" is a 21-book series called "The New Jedi Order" - it shows the invasion of the Star Wars galaxy by an alien race, this was followed by the Dark Nest trilogy, and then a 9 volume series called "Legacy of the Force". All of these feature Luke, Leia, Han and their extended families.
Right now, they're releasing a 9-volume series called "Fate of the Jedi", set about 43 years after "A New Hope".

What books have Anakin Solo as the main character?
write4life
I have done some reading on Anakin Solo, and he seem pretty interesting. Anyway, what books have Anakin Solo as the main character? I don't care whether it's a novel, young reader book, comic... Anything. Plus, if you would add your rating on the book (what you thought of it), that would be great.
Thanks!
