We usually hear that each decade has its own vibe and style, so which one is your favorite, and why?
Most of my favorite movies came from the 2000s.
- Lord of the Rings
- The Dark Knight
- The Count of Monte Cristo
- A Knights Tale
- Star Trek
- Inception
- Mission Impossible 3
- Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
- Taken
- The Prestige
- Up
Same here, though my suspicion is that this solely due to the fact that I was a Teenager back then. There is a Name for this kind of phenomenon that people will usually like the things the most they discovered at around ~14…
I’m partial to the 1960s. David Lean did Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Kubrick had Dr Strangelove and 2001. Hitchcock put out Psycho, Kurosawa did Yojimbo. Cool Hand Luke, Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy.
Cinema was really ambitious and huge in scope, and directors with an eye for photography were doing some incredible, slow, lingering shots.
The 90s, a lot of solid action movies during those years.
- The Matrix
- Fight Club
- Terminator 2
- Demolition Man
- Batman Returns
- Die Hard With A Vengeance
I’d say the 80s especially John Hughes type films, B horror movies, back to the future, goonies, princess bride, etc.
There are just so many movies that have feel-good vibes. There are dark ones too but something about the 80s just felt so optimistic to me.
As much as I love modern films, I love the 90s most of all. Action films, especially. Films from that time seem cheesy and dated now. At the time they weren’t cliché, they were cutting edge and building the cliché.
So many classics
