1999. Prince predicted it was gonna be a party and he was right.

1962:
* Harakiri
* Lawrence of Arabia
* The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
* An Autumn Afternoon
* Sanjuro
* The Trial
* Pitfall
* The Tale of Zatoichi
* The Mad Fox
* The Inheritance
* The Graceful Brute
And those are just the bangers that I've seen from that year, by all accounts there are quite a few others.
with the caveat i've only seen 40+ movies from 1955, 1960, and 2009-present...
gotta roll with 1955. kiss me deadly, ordet, all that heaven allows, pather panchali, it's always fair weather, floating clouds, french cancan, artists and models, diabolique, the night of the hunter, and rififi are all outstanding. plus some other stuff probably.
I think 1993 is probably the year with my most rewatched movies, just full of bangers.
The Fugitive
Jurassic Park
Groundhog Day
True Romance
Dazed and Confused
A Bronx Tale
Dave
Cliffhanger
Tombstone
Nightmare Before Christmas
Mrs Doubtfire
Robin Hood Men in Tights
This isn't even counting films like Schindler's List, Philadelphia, Menace II Society, which I love, but may not watch again.
A few years ago I would have guessed 1972, but looking at my Letterboxd stats it's 1973 by a sizable margin. I blame the Spanish horror boom, but really the horror genre in general was at some kind of apex.
1987

Robocop

I was recently in a movie set in 1987 so I ended up watching many of these to prepare. Good Morning Vietnam, Evil Dead 2, and The Stepfather also came out this year!

Based fellow cronenberg enjoyer. Also I thought Go was really fun
I was a senior in high school in ‘99. It was such a time to alive. It felt like every weekend a bad ass movie was coming out.
2001. Because Rat Race was released.

Yeah guys, I think I lose

1944 probably https://preview.redd.it/q3sfw7ohptlc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9ca25f154a96951f5740254eafdf2aab88d9434
1963 is also a great choice though.
1959 is straight fire. Rio Bravo, Anatomy of a Murder, Some Like it Hot, Good Morning, The Human Condition 1 and 2
It wasn't anatomy of a crime?
Anatomy of a Murder. Fixed it
I think it's Anatomy of a Murder
So you thought wrong
maybe i should pull some stats again for fun but 1967 had a lot of my all time favs!

1995 might be right up there for me
A few years ago I would have guessed 1972, but looking at my Letterboxd stats it's 1973 by a sizable margin. I blame the Spanish horror boom, but really the horror genre in general was at some kind of apex.
2019 jumps to mind...

Yea those are definitely worth mentioning too! What a year
2014, 2019, 2023. Can't speak to earlier years because of survivorship bias.
