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

              Seems like most of my favorite movies are from the 90's so I'm going with that.

                                  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.

                                              I'm a sucker for 80s movies but the 70s had some of the most interesting movies (like A Clockwork Orange)

                                              History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

                                                  there's genius and trash in every decade (this next one has been shit so far).. its too wide a range to make an argument either way..

                                                  best year in movies is another story though.. some years are just killer and some crap

                                                        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.
                                                        I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                                          The 70's, no question.

                                                          Jaws

                                                          The Exorcist

                                                          Apocalypse Now

                                                          French Connection

                                                          There's a good documentary called A Decade Under the Influence. Check it out if you like that period.

                                                            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 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.

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.

                                                                                            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.

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

                                                                                                  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.
