So I did a top 3 English Language films every year between 1939-2021. It gets a little spotty before 1939 so I just stopped there. And since 1939 has often been called Hollywood's Greatest Year, it made sense to stop there.
The best decades are definitely the 40s & 70s. Hitchcock's case for the GOAT became really obvious when doing this. He's got 18 films that made the various top 3s. The next closest is 9 (Tarantino & Altman). Biggest surprise was James Cameron landing 5 films in the top 3s over the years. Definitely didn't expect that. I tend to forget about him when thinking of the great directors, but he belongs on the list for sure. The list of directors who have 3 or more movies make it is basically a list of the greatest directors ever. Welcome to the party Denis Villeneuve, now get back to work.
Here's the list of directors with 3 or more movies to make a top 3 movie of the year

I tried doing the genre challenge thing without duplicating any choices, but failed at it. I might be able to do the top 3 English language of the year list. I'm using my IMDb account to see what I've seen from each year, so there might be some films I've seen that I forgot to log or seen before I created my account. Also, around the mid 2010s I started watching less and less new films, from 2020 I've seen like two films.
