Personally, I adore the couple of years between 1965 and 1975 most. This is very subjective of course because I know that these years were not nearly as important for the evolution of cinema as the era of silent cinema and the 30ies / 40ies for example, but in this few years, something was going on that never ever happened before or after and is really hard to describe (especially if your english is limited...). No matter which kind of film, which genre, which country or director - almost everybody everywhere did very unusual, energetic movies at this time. A very special energy. Maybe not important movies, but movies that could've been only made at this time the way they were made. No matter if you look at the "big" films of the time ("2001", "James Bond", "Torn Curtain", "Solaris", "Zabriskie Point", "The dirty dozen", "Point Blank"), the cheaper, trashier or slightly controversial flicks ("Petulia", "The bed sitting room", "Barbarella", "Danger: Diabolik", "Night of the living dead", "My lover, my son", "Deep end", "I am curious: yellow"), the well reputated arthouse cinema (Antonioni, Iosseliani, Tarkowskij, Zulawski, Bergman, Skolimowski, Vera Chytilov, Fassbinder, Roland Klick, Leone, Klaus Lemke, Dario Argento a. m. o.) or the usual genre cinem - everywhere everything seemed to be unleashed without limits or tight rules. Almost 50 percent of my favourite movies belong to this 10 years. Some years ago, I thought it was only my fascination for the history of this years but nowadays I realize that I can't really explain it. Just by chance, I permantly discover something new, incredibly exciting from these years, movies of a kind I didn't even think to be in existence.

Thin explanation, but I can't tell much more.
