[Closed] Your golden era for movies?

There's brilliant and piss poor films in pretty much every decade, 80s did come up with some good action adventure films though.

True. Maybe I’ve just or gotten the crappy ones.
On the other hand I do have a Cool Hand Luke, The Graduate, The Goid The Bad and Tge Ugly, Easy Rider, Night of the Living Dead, Dr Strangelove, The Wild Bunch... oh wait.
All old guy fillums.

darn, busted. 😟

LA Confidental, The usual suspects, trainspotting, grosse point blank, unforgiven, Fargo, Millers crossing, Leon ....

No, not sure when mine was.

Tough question...

The 80's had stuff like really decent Spielberg family adventure, also Sci-Fi was big back then so it all seemed to be fairly attainable enjoyable stuff. ET awesome, Indiana Jones awesome, Star Wars awesome, The Colour Purple awesome, The Thing, Aliens, Scarface, Ghostbusters, Terminator... the list is quite frankly endless..

I'm not 100% keen on todays CGI pallets, I'm more a fan of real sets and grit so I'd say todays movies aren't very enjoyable.

So, 1980's for me.. with a few late 70's hangovers...

I like the 60s so much but I also want to make it through to Avengers 4 and fingers crossed the next Star Wars.

Got to be the 1980's John Hughes era for me.

The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's day off, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Uncle Buck, Lost Boys.

I think the 70s and 90s edges it for me but lots of great films from every decade, I just think those 2 decades put out more great movies of the type I enjoy most, I'd be stuck trying to choose one over the other.

70s - Typical examples would be - Taxi Driver, Dog Day Afternoon, Apocalypse Now, Chinatown, Raging Bull, Godfather, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

90s - Typical examples would be - Saving Private Ryan, Thin Red Line, Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Leon, Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption

But then the 60s did give us some great westerns...

Thin red line was the worst film ever made, holy ****, canny believe anyone enjoyed that hokum! 😂

I remember there was a couple walked out after half an hour, bit harsh I thought. By **** how I wished I'd joined them by the end!

Not sure, when did Avatar come out?

Thin red line was the worst film ever made

Behave yourself laddie.

Haha, it was a classic case of 'bugger, we've made a shite film, let's see if we can squeeze in a raft of A listers, folk will buy that!' 😂

Haha, it was a classic case of ‘bugger, we’ve made a great film hardly anyone will go see, let’s see if we can squeeze in a raft of A listers, folk will buy it then!’

FTFY

Tricky, I could say the 40s or the 50s, or maybe the 60s, the 70s have got a chance, so have the 80s, and maybe the 90s. That's it.

Not sure, when did Avatar come out?

Avatar Dances with wolves came out in 1990 😉

All eras have come out with great films. Couldn't pick one.

I love the 50s/60s scifi, such as The Day the earth Caught Fire and War of the Worlds, but I'd probably have to hand it to the 70s, although every decade has had great films. Including the one we are nearly at the end of.

I'm with Dez.

Probably 90s for me, I've got a lot of affection for the 80s, Back to the Future, Empire Strikes Back, Ghost Busters etc, but as I got into my teenage years in the 90s I fell in love with Crime Films - Goodfellas, Casino, Pulp Fiction, Silence of the Lambs, Kiss the Girls, Seven, LA Confidential, Usual Suspects, Shawshank.

I watched Heat again over Xmas for the first time in years, it's just stunning, totally stunning. You don't get films like that any more. I watched 'Den of Thieves' recently as I'd read it was similar, it sort of is, but it bumps up the steroids and macho bullshit and does away with the gritty realism, it's an NRA porno really.

You don’t get films like that any more.

People have been saying that for decades.

Same goes for music, though I reckon it's much easier and more justifiable to have a personal "golden era" for that.

You don’t get films like that any more.

No, most of them have better endings 😆
