Have you seen any of them? (not necessary to answer)
If you'd prefer not to give away the year of your birth, feel free to name some from the decade (Forties, Fifties, etc.) that stand out to you or that might be famous films.
I often say that I was born the year science fiction made its comeback with films such as "When Worlds Collide", "The Day the Earth Stood Still", "The Thing from Another World" and "The Man from Planet X".
Others that accompanied me into the world are:
An American in Paris ~ Academy Award for Best Picture
A Streetcar Named Desire
Callaway Went Thataway
Jim Thorpe~All-American
Father's Little Dividend
David and Bathsheba
Strangers on a Train
The Lemon Drop Kid
The African Queen
A Place in the Sun
Bedtime for Bonzo
On Moonlight Bay
Detective Story
People Will Talk
Royal Wedding
Show Boat
Quo Vadis
Yes, I've seen all of these, some of them many times. I was surprised by checking a list that I've seen the majority of films released in my birth year, but there are many to go. I thought about checking films released in other countries and might do a post later if that's allowed.
You might be surprised when you take a look at YOUR year. I found my list at Wikipedia, but I'm sure there are other sites.

Moviewise, there are no winners because everyone has classics or something notworthy released the year s/he was born.
I mean: Take a look at the list above! WOWWEWOWOWOW! It makes me want to take a look at the British films released in hopes of some goodies. / I'm back! Here are some classics:
The Browning Version
The Lavender Hill Mob
No Highway in the Sky
Cry, the Beloved Country
The Man in the White Suit
Scrooge aka A Christmas Carol ~ the one with Alastair Sim!
Yep! There are some goodies there, too. I've seen these and some others, but I'd love to see all of them, too.
So, be proud of what arrived the same year you did! Someone will have "Jason and the Argonauts" and "The Haunting"; or "Lawrence of Arabia"; or "2001: A Space Odyssey"; or one of the "LOTR" trilogy.
