The 70w were great years for film making. It was before the money men took over Hollywood.

I agree with you I would add to the list Alien. Well it was late 70s, and 1982 Blade Runner.

My first thought was about 'Godfather'. So the 70's. Other great movies followed the 70's.

70's were the golden age of American cinema. The major movie studios made movies that only indie film makers would do today with unknown actors on small budgets - in the 70's you'd have those movies made with the best talent on both sides of the camera.

it all went wrong near the end of the 70's and early 80's - box office was way down, Disney was pretty much bankrupt. A whole new breed of young studio executives and agents came into Hollywood, must more concerned with the bottom line and stock price than the previous generation, who were all more movie lovers than businessmen. The rise of the super agencies like CAA, they had power that the old agents who had been around during the days of contract stars didn't have or want, agencies became more like producers. Movies were now being put together as packages, the one sentence pitch was born it's still used today - when a producer/writer makes a pitch today for a movie if the producer can't describe the movie in one sentence the studios aren't interested. They called them 'high concept' movies. Every thing became about going for the blockbuster summer movie. Which mostly produced total crap. No decade can claim more cinematic crap than the 80's. I was a teenager, I loved most of it, crap but Police Academy, Animal House, and the 100 others like them were
great for teenagers. As bad as the 80's were there were some great films made during them. Same with the 90's and the first decade of this century.

70's all the way.

For sheer ratio of hit:miss, I'd have to say the 70's. There was no "straight to DVD/VHS" option, so the shittier ones just didn't see the light of day. Have you seen the Land Before Time 6? No, neither have I.

There's been a lot of great movies since then, but there's been an ocean of crap to wade through, too.

I was a huge fantasy fan as a kid. They used to butcher the books and around 2000 they decided to quit doing that so somewhere in the late 90's early 2000 movies got a lot better.

Yep!

I think motion pictures were in the classic era then. However, from the 40s and 50s only the good films survive today -- they ground out lots of grade B product too during that time period.

I just watched Woody Allen in Sleeper from 1973 for the 5th time and Cleopatra from 1963, a big budget era production before a lot of the money went into CGI films.

There are a lot of exceptions to date -- motion pictures that will survive.

it all went wrong near the end of the 70's and early 80's - box office was way down, Disney was pretty much bankrupt. A whole new breed of young studio executives and agents came into Hollywood, must more concerned with the bottom line and stock price than the previous generation, who were all more movie lovers than businessmen. The rise of the super agencies like CAA, they had power that the old agents who had been around during the days of contract stars didn't have or want, agencies became more like producers. Movies were now being put together as packages, the one sentence pitch was born it's still used today - when a producer/writer makes a pitch today for a movie if the producer can't describe the movie in one sentence the studios aren't interested. They called them 'high concept' movies. Every thing became about going for the blockbuster summer movie. Which mostly produced total crap. No decade can claim more cinematic crap than the 80's. I was a teenager, I loved most of it, crap but Police Academy, Animal House, and the 100 others like them were
great for teenagers. As bad as the 80's were there were some great films made during them. Same with the 90's and the first decade of this century.

70's all the way.
I completely forgot about that... its hard to imagine today, but Disney was going bankrupt and had no good movies for a long period, before Eisner took over. Seems weird to think about now.

My theory on this is your favorite movies are closely related to the movies that came out during your teenage years. Thats when you go to the movies the most and you become attached to them.

For me it was the 90's

- Shawshank Redemption
- Unforgiven
- Jerry Maguire
- A few good men.
- Jurrasic Park
- Titanic
- Casino
- Pulp Fiction
- Silence of the lambs
- Forrest Gump
- Toy Story and Toy Story 2
- American Beauty
- Usual Suspects
- Saving Private Ryan
- Big Lebowski
- Dazed and Confused
- Sixth Sense
- As good as it gets

Plus tons of comedies like Tommy Boy, Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, Austin Powers, American Pie, Theres something about Mary, etc.

My brothers who are 8-10 years older love the 80's movies like Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club etc. My Dad speaks fondly about the 60's movies.

* On a side note, this theory also usually holds true for your favorite SNL cast.

I grew up in the 70's, graduating in the early 80's, so a lot of my favorites are influenced by that era.

That said, I quite enjoy classic Black and White cinema, from the silent film era through the 30's, 40's and 50's. Everything was hand built, from the sets to the costumes and with a ton of attention to detail. They were limited to the technology of the day which meant no special effects CGI to rely on. Rather, it was pure skill and craftsmanship. I think that's impressive when you look back and realize what they had to work with.

Oh yeah, and they never had to keep re-doing movies or turning cartoons in movies as they had actual original ideas.

Incidentally, my favorite movies of all time are the Guns of Navarone and Where Eagles Dare -- both from the 60's.

70's was the turning point for cinema, but I love the 90's -- especially 1999.

I have favorite movies from all decades, but my favorite would have to be the 70's.

I am a huge horror and love my cult movies, so 70's had most of the best for me.

I'd say it was the nineties:

Matrix, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Schindler's List, Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club.

But every decade has some great movies. It's not like music where the 70s were better by far than any other decade.
