Hlao-roo 388 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 The other day I tried compiling a list of my truly favorite films of the twentieth century and came up with thirty-one titles spanning six decades (none of them are from the '20s or '30s). Comparing the number of titles among decades I arrived at something like this:40s xx50s xxx60s xxxxx70s xxxx80s xxxxxxx90s xxxxxxxxxxSo what about you? I didn't include the current decade because it's not finished yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC1 3,565 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 The daring 70s. It started actually in the 60s. Creative freedom was at a peak. Even George Lucas made a movie nobody would release today.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC1 3,565 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 PS. I'm sure Morlock can effortlessly double the titles in my list. Do your maths, people, together with Morlock's selection the 70s outstar any other decade list.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 9 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I do agree with Alex. And I probably could come up with several more titles. But today, I'm really not in the mood for every day film score talk. (though I do find the idea of Alex and Morlock completing each other lists a very entertaining one ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 2,924 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 The 70's probably have better movies than the 80's ,but in terms of pure movie magic,nothing beats the summers of 1980,1981 and 1982 for me.K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 80's easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those years (1980, 1981, 1982) are still remains of the "wave" that started somewhere in the second half of the 60s, shined indisputably during the 70s, and went out with with a big bang in the early 80s (1982. to be more precisely). ----------------Alex Cremers - discoverer of the "Wave". The "Wave" is more important than the decade it lived in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
