So many directors made their legends in the 1970's -- Coppola, Scorcese, Allen, Malick, Spielberg, Bogdonovich, Lucas . . . Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Can't argue with that. And nowadays, James Cameron shoots a trillion Assatar sequels. Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right? | |

I'm partial to the 60s because the fashions looked better then. | |

Yeah...no. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I'd say... yes.
there was a unified rebellion against the Hollywood aesthetic, shooting out on locations with high speed grainy film to avoid big lighting rigs... and it left TV behind in the dust. Even something mainstream like "Superman the Movie" got hit with a dose of cool design and conceptual discipline that was somewhat removed form the old Hollywood studio production flow (in that case it was a mix of contrast between the new and old school). From The Godfather to The Exorcist to Star Wars to ALIEN to Kramer vs Kramer and Rocky and so many other films...
I jut watched the second season of "Top of the Lake" which could have been retitled "Going Over-the-Top of the Lake" My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

i'll leave it to the experts to determine such things, i guess, but i do think there's a bit of a recency bias whenever a topic like this comes up. that is to say, i think a lot of fairly classic movies from the first part of the century get overlooked. i'm guilty of it myself, for sure. i've barely looked at movies from the fifties or earlier, and i've always resisted diving into anything from the silent era, as if those films were transmissions from a completely different period, a foreign experience i wouldn't really enjoy.

I love discussions like this! Anyone interested in doing a "Top 3 movies of every decade" kind of thread? Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right? | |

Tough to argue with that assessment. I'm an 80s kid so it'll always be my fave decade (Terminator, Aliens, Predator, the slasher boom, Beverly Hills Cop, Die Hard, etc) ... but for quality cinema I don't think the 70s will be topped. www.filmsfilmsfilms.co.uk - The internet's best movie site! | |

luvsexy4all said: movies and music ...70's unbeatable For the most part I agree with you. Of course, there were some amazing movies made in the 80's and some great music too, but the 70's ruled IMO. | |
