Filmgoers vote 1939 Hollywood's greatest year
Filmgoers have voted 1939 - the year that gave us Gone With The Wind, Wuthering Heights and The Wizard Of Oz - the greatest year in Hollywood history.
They have bypassed movies from recent decades to hark back to the golden age of cinema.
While Gone With The Wind was the most popular film of its day, carrying off eight Oscars, 1939 produced many other classics of the silver screen.
John Wayne western Stagecoach was released in that year, along with Frank Capra's Mr Smith Goes To Washington, which starred James Stewart.
Other favourites included The Hunchback of Notre Dame, with Charles Laughton, and Of Mice And Men, which starred Burgess Meredith.
The survey of more than 2,000 cinema-goers was carried out by internet pollster YouGov.
Second in the poll was 1974, which saw the release of The Godfather: Part II featuring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
It won six Oscars, including best picture and best director, and is regarded by many as the best movie of all time.
The same year also gave us Chinatown, The Odessa Files and The Great Gatsby.
Other winning years were 1941 (Citizen Kane, How Green Was My Valley), 1946 (The Big Sleep, It's A Wonderful Life, The Postman Always Rings Twice), 1957 (Zorro, Bridge Over The River Kwai, Sayonara) and 1971 (The French Connection, A Clockwork Orange, The Last Picture Show).
