Nah that'd be the 70s
>>
>>214209319
Cinematography was perfected in the 90s
>>
where's heat
>>
80s>90s>70s>00s>60s

Okay. Let's see:
Clueless - shit
Fight Club - mediocre
Titanic - shit
Aladdin - mediocre
Silence of the Lambs - okay
Scream - mediocre
Terminator 2 - mediocre
Toy Story 2 - mediocre
Batman Forever - shit
Romeo + Juliet - shit
Blade - okay
Space Jam - shit
Forrest Gump - shit
Jurassic Park - good
Ghost in the Shell - good (not Hollywood)
The Lion King - mediocre
Blair Witch Project - shit
American Pie - shit
Pulp Fiction - good
Home Alone 2 - shit

Wow, a pretty shitty decade.
>>
>>214209346
Really? The 70s had like ten well known movies. The 90s had hundreds. The 60s and 70s really were the dark ages of movies between the classic and modern era.
>>
>>214210663
you could puts 70s, 80s, and 90s in any order as first three. Those are films' strongest decades I think. Then next comes 00s and 60s or 60s>00s, agreed.
>>
>>214210766
70s destroy 90s.

>>214210777
60s is easily stronger than 90s.
>>
>>214210766
>The 60s and 70s really were the dark ages of movies
this thread has a spicy smell
>>
>>214210732
What's a great movie in your opinion?
>>
>>214210815
Mostly non-American ones. For example Chungking Express. But my good is basically 8-10 depending on my mood.
>>
The 80s is basically the start of real movies cause everything before then SUCKED
>>
>>214210766
The top three decades are 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
>>
>>214211048
It's the start of slop.

Yes

The '90s was demonstrably the peak of cinema
>>
>>214210802
Depends how you compare. I think they really need top 100s for each year but we could start with 50. And for that 1970-1972 is shockingly awful. Maybe even through 73 I forget. But you would be damn lucky to get a strong top 100 for 1970-1973 combined whereas one single year from the 90s could possibly be strong competition for that.

Every year has their precious little top 10 or 20. That gets us literally nowhere.
>>
>>214210732
wow you're a twat
>>
>>214211121
Any year from the 70s is stronger than any 1990s year.
>>
>>214209319
Half of those movies are literally shit
>>
>>214209319
No, its closer to the point where they ceased to produce anything worthwhile beyond a few auteurs like Lynch.
>>
>>214211098
Nice list, very comfy
>>
1900-1940s - proto cinema
1950s-1970s - peak cinema
1980s-2000s - fun cinema
2010s-2020s - stopped watching mainstream movies cinema
>>
>>214209319
If you’re a zoomer
>>
was the 90s the last era of good mid budget action films?
>>
>>214211155
My ass. I'll let you pick. 1970-1972. And its big lists. Youre not gonna dangle one or two movies and say they're better than anything from that year in the 90s so it's a better year. Or you can but if so let's be clear about it.
>>
>>214211155
This is not going to go well for you I promise.

>Pulp Fiction - good
lmao

This. It's not good. It's a masterpiece.
>>
>>214211257
Van damme says that yes
>>
>>214210732
Silence of the lambs and Pulp fiction are shit and Jurassic park is okay but otherwise mostly agreed.
>>
>>214211690
mostly disagreed

>>214210732
Pretty shit takes ngl.
>>214210966
Oh, you're one of those people. Makes sense.
>>
>>214211640
you probably can't even articulate why you think it's bad
>>
>>214211559
I will never understand why people enjoy sentimental cheesy crap like Forrest Gump or Shawshank Redemption. I haven't seen The Client, but from this list I actually enjoyed Pulp Fiction and Leon.

This is somewhat biased. Old movies are watched mostly by people actually interested in movies, new movies by all kinds of casuals and nostalgic millennials.

>top 75s
Now try top 1,000. Seriously.

>that massive quality drop in the 80s
>>
there's a literal era for hollywood already called the golden age

Pre-Code Hollywood > New Hollywood > Blockbuster Era > Contemporary Hollywood > Hays Code Era
>>
>>214212074
The only massive quality drop I see is the 2020s. I've never been an OLD GOOD NEW BAD kind of guy, but holy shit, this decade has been depressing.
>>
>>214211724
It's not bad it's just okay. I like it for the "moments" it has, I love the characters. It's shot pretty great. There's nothing to it though. The Bonnie Situation is bad it's really corny you can cut the last 40 minutes of the film out. Following The Golden Watch, it's like there's an addendum of thematic meaning rather than enhancement or reinforcement of what came before. There are ATTEMPTS at some sort of coherence. It's vaguely about coincidence, if there's meaning in the chaos, what choices people make when faced with unforeseen circumstances, if those "choices" are even done in accord of free will. That's all sprinkled in there I guess but it's nothing special, easy to grasp (because Samuel L Jackson fucking yells out what the movie is about in monologues) and I don't think there's a single unique or poignant insight you can pull from between the lines. As a film it's full of itself with all the puffed up, self-indulgent... pulpy!!! dialogue but for what?? It's not clever, it's just a decent, fun movie that goes on too long.

>>214212074
Halloween is a piece of shit and so is the entire franchise. Relatively speaking. Friday the 13th may be a piece of shit but at least the franchise is good. So I take that entry to just kinda be a place holder for the franchise or maybe just whichever sequels best.
>>
>>214209319
No, but most of my favourite films are non-american anyway so I don't really care.
>>
>>214211917
you can literally see it all fall apart in the 00s, franchises, comic books, nerd culture

Flubber with Robin Williams is ground zero. It all goes back to Flubber.

To prove whether or not Halloween is a piece of shit. I think it can be done.

>>214212101
By the time of the 80s it's pure millennial nostalgia. 90s is the same.
00s is franchise slop, Pixar cartoons.
>>
>domestically, it's the second highest grossing October movie from the 90s, behind Pulp Fiction

I love this 1998 movie

This is surprisingly accurate. Wouldn't go that high for Pulp Fiction, but everything else is pretty much spot on.

for me it's 60s samurai movies

90s movies clear anything after them. But the pre 90s. That’s the good shit.

>>214213213
>>214213256
If you go by mainstream audience scores then yes, but those same audiences rate spiderverse 10/10
>>
>>214213566
The mainstream audience doesn't think that highly of Romeo + Juliet (6.7 on IMDB), Batman Forever (5.4), Clueless (6.9) and Scream (7.4), considering an IMDB-rating under 7.5 is like 3-3.5 stars.
>>
>>214209319
Only 6 of these are good. The golden era was unquestionably 40s and 50s. It fell off hard by 68 and the french faggot wave.

get a load of this faggot

It's just how many people on the site have watched the movie in descending order from the top left
