I know that there are a few other people here who agree with me in that most new movies today suck.

So anyhow, I'm wondering what decade do you think churned out the best movies?

I think it was probably the seventies... Earlier than that, (particularly in the 50s) I feel the acting is more rigid and unnatural, but things really felt like they improved a lot in the sixties; I felt like there were several great movies in the sixties, and the around the seventies things sorta peeked in creative style, and the eighties had lots of great hits, but things were steadily dipping then, and creativity seemed more scarce.

I'm only basing this on what I've seen, though I do tend to watch movies from a variety of generations than sticking to one particular era. Overall, this has been my observation.

Do any of you have any opinion on this?

I agree that movies now a days suck. At least most do. I watch nearly everything that makes it online. I think the 80s and early 90s is my favorite time for movies. after the late 90s everything got far to over produced and cgi took over real effects. 80s action movies are the best. they had tons of ass kicking without flying around like super heros and tits. fuck i hate movie ratings. Whoever does the rating on movies are uptight wankers. I want to see some T&A in my action movie. fuck that i want to see it in all movies.

I would agree with most of that. Although acting aside the most creative scripts all were rooted to older cinema. Wartime cinema and depression era sci-fi are interesting in that the scripts were written more adventurously. The thing that irks me the most is when all sorts of things which made past generations of films get remade. It's like doing a bad cover for a good song. Some can be better I agree. But rarely and at that usually just because it isn't really the same movie any longer. I would have to say the end of each decade and beginning of the next seem to bring out the better movies. This is a trend I am corrolating in my head right now as I type to think that most of the better movies I can think of either finished out a decade (the sixties for examples) or began it (the early eighties). In the middle of decades things are less clear in my thinking. I could be wrong though. ~~~~~~~~~~ _X/
