I'm partial to the 1960s. David Lean did Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Kubrick had Dr Strangelove and 2001. Hitchcock put out Psycho, Kurosawa did Yojimbo. Cool Hand Luke, Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy.

Cinema was really ambitious and huge in scope, and directors with an eye for photography were doing some incredible, slow, lingering shots.
