The only movie on all five lists is The Dark Knight.

Not sure it makes every list in a more stacked decade like the 70s or 90s, however.

I've become bad at lists over the years. The Dark Knight wouldn't make my 2000s, though.

Drive would make my top 10 2010s, though. Was surprised that made it on any list.

My problem with making lists like this is that I can't combine horror and non-horror onto one list.

Which do I like more, A Nightmare on Elm Street or Die Hard? It's not a real question. Horror, in my mind, has to be separate from other genres when making lists like this.

I might try a top ten non-horror for each decade, but for the 1910's and 1920's. I've seen very few non-horror flicks, so they'd be lacking.
