Help needed: movies & decades Ok, I'm selecting a bunch of movies that perfectly encapsulated the feel/style of each decade (clothes, soundtrack, atrezzo, vehicles, haircuts, events, philosophy  , etc.) If you could add a couple of movies (or more) for each decade of the 20th century (plus the 00s decade), I'd be thankful 
I'll start with the 40s decade...but feel free to also add movies for the 20s and 30s please (or even for the 10s if U want to  )
40s: The Best Years of Our Lives 50s: Rebel Without a Cause, The Wild One 60s: The Party, Goldfinger 70s: Serpico, Saturday Night Fever 80s: Scarface, Purple Rain 90s: There's Something About Mary, Beautiful Girls 00s: ?   | |

20s - The Jazz Singer, The Sheik, Wings
30s - Top Hat, Dinner at 8, The Women, It Happened One Night, Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath ("Grapes" came out in 1940 - but that means it was shot in the 30s. And this is probably the best film ever about the Depression.) [Edited 5/19/10 6:46am] We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

The list for the 90s must include Clueless. Even though it's based on Jane Austen's Emma, this interpretation is a perfect capsule of 90s "teen-ness." We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
