The year 1994 has been chosen as the greatest in Hollywood history.
Twitter user Colin Murr asked people to vote on the best year for movies and gave 1974 as his personal choice.
I'll start with my personal favorite: 1974, which gave us Chinatown, The Godfather Part II, Black Christmas, Murder on the Orient Express, and Young Frankenstein

But in the end there seemed to be a clear favourite.
Many users chose 1994, which brought us The Lion King, Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction among others.
For me it was 1994: With movies such as Pulp Fiction, The Lion King, The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, The Mask, Clerks, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Interview with a Vampire, Speed, True Lies. Those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head. https://t.co/IZ1VRQVfue
