Why were the 1980s just absolutely dripping with kino?No other decade even comes close
>>214097785The decades before and after the 80s are more kino.
>>21409782370s was a slop decade
>>214097823midwit contrarian take
80s were pretty trashy but still plenty of great kinos.Honestly though, for me, from the 60s to the end up the 90s were just fantastic. 4 decades of absolute cinema.
>>214097883*and this thread is another insincere coomer thread. Great. I'm out.
>>214097852>>214097867The 70s were the greatest decades for film and music. We have been in a cultural decline ever since.
>>214097785Filmmaking had evolved enough where a lot of the fundamentals had been more or less figured out, and the camera, sound, and editing technology was also there so that a director/writer had enough tools to fully realise their own vision and style whilst also having enough room left over to need to be creative. The problem is since then that the continued 'advances' in technology have meant that creatives in the industry don't need to be as creative because they can just get everything fixed up and done for them afterwards with CGI touch up.Style in general has also just gone out the window. Colour grading in modern movies SUCKS, writing SUCKS, actors are usually acting against green screen and are often not even in the same room as the actor they are filming their scene with because the production is only paying for x days of filming with each actor, and they don't all match up.American cinema is fucking dead.
>>214097785women can't beat men
Michelle's makeup was just so shit in that movie.
>>21409798770s music is trash
>>2140978231970s looked absolutely filthy and the post-80s popularized shaming and political correctness
>>214098173It's called acting
>>214098209>Of cwaaouououss
>>214098187Why did they fuck up david bowie so hard? He did nothing wrong.
>>214097987>The 70s were the greatest decades for film and music.you're thinking of the 90s
>>214097785If this came out today you guys would call these two DEI hires and woke slop
80s was slop
>>214097785It was a great time im proud to have lived through
There has been more 80s nostalgia in film and tv than any other decade by far. That means it was awesome.
>>214098193Insane take, even I as an electronic music fan will say the 1970s is literally were mainstream music absolutely peaked. Yes you had shitty disco and early electronica, but this is also the decade of literally the greatest songwriting, country and rock music of all time.
>>214099598The 90s-early 00s has way more nostalgia right now. Out side of stranger things name some 80s nostalgia from the last 20 years
>>214097785sovl
>>214097883The weird part is that 80s dogshit D-tier movies, are still usually pretty fucking awesome to watch. Look at the entire Sword and Sorcery genre, absolute fucking hilariously bad garbage, but it's I will eat from that trashcan every day.There is just something about 80s camera work, 80s lighting, 80s music (and legitimate 80s music not the tryhard modern neo-80s crap) and 80s film that just comes together and makes any old slop look actually comfy and fun to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDEl77WMY8Q - This is the only actually modern thing I've ever watched that 100% captures the 1980s perfectly from music, lighting, makeup, hair, sound, music etc and I wonder how they did it.
>>214099738I have only seen Excalibur and thought it was Kino. Any other suggestions?
>>214097867Silence of the LambsBoyz in the HoodTerminator and T2etc...
>>214097987Name 10 good movies from the 70s. Its not possible.
>>214099800This nigga is so retarded that he can only measure time in movies KEK
>>214098219It's called faggotry.
>>214097785That's incredibly fucking gay.
>>214099847>apocalypse now>taxi driver>A new hope>jaws>clockwork orange>Halloween>rocky>godfather 1 and 2>one flew over the Cuckcoos nest>escape from alcatraz>Dirty harry>Dawn of the dead>Mad max>Planet of the apesHmmm weird that most of these are STILL major franchises huh? Name some movies made in the 80s that are still culturally relevant
>>214097785The money, distribution and competency were all there for B movies to flourish in that period
>>214099938Not him, but here you go:>Back to the Future>Raiders of the Lost Ark>The Empire Strikes Back>The Shining>Das Boot>Scarface>Full Metal Jacket>Die Hard>The Thing>Blade Runner>The Terminator>PlatoonI personally agree that the 70s had tons of great movies, but the 80s also had their fair share.
>this was considered a sexy butt in the 80sI miss cute tight butts tbqh
>>214098099Yeah, bring back practical effects. Somehow CGI looks worse than ever
>>214098187That flying jump kick is fucking kino!
It might not be the best decade, but it's definitely most fun. >>214099938Good movies, but most of them aren't really fun. >>214100360Good and mostly fun movies.
>>214100698>funThis is how you can tell the love for the 80s is based on nostalgia and "fun" from your childhood. Fun is a very nice way of saying not that good but I enjoyed it
>>214100909Fun is an encapsulating term that has a personal definition to each person involved. Anon could have written 10 pages why they like 80s movies more, but is that what you want to read on 4chan?
>>214098309his late '80s albums were pretty bad indeed
>>214099568Robocop is unironically one of the best made satires ever put to screen, still holds up
>>214099938>A new hopeit's called star wars, you spaz
>>21409778580s>90s>70s>00s>60s
>>214099538there were good movies here and there in the 80s but yeah it was mostly pretty mindless
>>214104243actually it is called star wars episode iv - a new hopeif you'd call it just "star wars" that could cause confusion since it's the name of the franchise
>>214097785relative balance of powers made for peaceful and positive outlook that transferred into movies
>>214097785it's when genre flicks became mainstream and got high budgets but before they turned into slop
>>214098193Imagine only listening to what's on the radio.
>>214097785What a teamup, loved those two
>>214097785My question to you old anons. In the 80s, did people really dress with so much color and fashion, or is it exaggerated in the movies? I swear, all modern aesthetics is very types of grey scale with no details.
>>214097785The entire aesthetics of the 80s disgust me. It's this weird point between the 70s and 90s, which were both much more genuine, where movies started looking extremely artificial and shit again. The OPs clip perfectly encapsulates the aggressive corniness of the 80s.
>>214104979I'm watching The X-Files (great show, I highly recommend it) and I swear that was the peak of adult fashion. Everyone still wore suits etc. but they looks comfy and relaxed. When I watch movies from the 70s, its like people still wore 3 piece suits, which is a little too much, but then, by the 2010s, everyone is in a hoodie and basketball shorts. >tfw you'll never be a cool 90s dude like Mulder/Duchovny :(
>>214104931well define people, but yeah, as a mass culture was that, the mainstream audience tried to copy that (primarily hair and some fashion)but you had various countercultures like punk and heavy metal so you could pick what you likei think women started wearing pants more and more and it became obnoxious. luckily millenialites managed to reverse that shit
>>214097785>Cynthia Rothrock"Rothrock" means "red skirt" in German. Kek.
>>214097785Decreased regulation. Everything was about selling a product. Therefore it had to be as appealing as possible.
>>21409778570's were art kino. 80's were blockbuster kino. 90's were blended kino.You can pick any year from 76 to 2000 and it basically shits over the entire decade from 2015 to 2025.
>>214097987>1945-55 was the greatest decade for film and music.
>>214104931Depends where you lived etcMy parents were still dressing like it was the 70s all the way up to the 90s.The teenagers where I lived all dressed like fucking idiots. Not the big-hair colourful, the ghastly 80s rap look. This was very late into the decade though.
>>214104559No, retard. It's a fact that the name of the first movie is also the name of the franchise. See: The matrix, Friday the 13th, Scream, Godzilla, Alien, etc...
>>214097785VHS tapes meant you could make a lot of money with out being a huge hit in the theater but also you had enough money to spend even on low budget flicks
>>214097785Michelle and Cynthia should have made more films together
>>214097852>>214097987you know how we bitch today about how every filmmaker makes their stuff needlessly divisive and tries forcing in their politics at every turn? imagine an entire decade that released nothing but dour nihilistic crap because the filmmakers thought the world was shit and wanted to force everyone else to have no reprieve from itthere's a reason that out of the 35,000 movies that came out in the 1970s we remember literally a dozen of themfucking slop decade and it's rightfully in the trash can of history
>>214106749>Consume safe feel-good slop and don't worry about the world go-, I mean guy
>>214106601cope
>>214106809go jerk off to Black Mirror you faggotpeople who have actual problems don't want to see that shit in the media they consume in their scant free time
>>214097785The only good movies made in the 1970s were from Color Climax
>>214106630Why don't they start releasing things on VHS again, and stop all this streaming nonsense?
>>214106855>people who have actual problems don't want to see that shit Do you identify as one of those people? Oh poor you, you little baby. It's not about that anyways, it's about people who brave the world vs people who try to escape it like a coward.
>>214106877That would be ideal
>>214106579Poor Donnie was destined to be balding from the start. Mark got all th chad genes. Damn.
>>214099625>the 1970s is literally where mainstream music absolutely peakedCorrect. The 80's saw the consolidation of radio stations and the limitation of popular music to whatever formula the station was playing. >Don't look like "x"? FUCK OFF!>Don't sound like "y"? FUCK OFF!Music has never recovered.
>>214104931>is it exaggerated in the movies?Yes. While there were always copycat people that try and mimic fashion from film, most normal people avoided the silly shit.
>>214097785It was the best decade for music too, mainstream and alternative, but no one takes it seriously.
>>214099800Why do these westerners who want to larp as ziggers only think Ukraine started existing after the fall of the Soviet Union? Who do they think inhabited that land before then?
>>214099800all polls show that the ukranians indeed want to stay their own country by a huge margin, but nice try
>>214097987this. pinacle of western civilization. 80s was presentable dolled up corpse of it with rotten stench being clear once yoi get a close look. we could have reached stars in more way than one if not interference of powerst that be...
>>214097785late 80s/ early 90s was the peak since the 50s
>>214109287
>>214099800Ukraine was a founding member of the United Nations in 1945.
