Yes, 1962 was my other thought.....

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
DR. NO
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE
THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE
STATE FAIR
MUSIC MAN
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?
LOLITA
THE LONGEST DAY
DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES
LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD
CAPE FEAR

All great films in their own right...would 1962 beat 1968 though???

Well, I don't know... 1983 comes to mind.

A CHRISTMAS STORY
THE DEAD ZONE
THE RIGHT STUFF
THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY
VIDEODROME
OCTOPUSSY
RUMBLE FISH
YOR: HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE (not!)
JAWS 3-D ....also not
