Was the 70s the golden age of cinema or was it the 50s?
>>69710359
60s/70s for art
80s for fun
>>69710359
30s/40s for comfy films
60s/70s for brilliant films
80s/90s for really fun films
50's weren't that great aside from the film noir
>>69710359
70s is when everything went wrong
50s was the peak of Hollywood.
60s imo isnt as good as the 50s or 70s in terms of art.
the 80s was trash
The 80s was by faaaaaar the worst
talkies a shit
I was just about to make a thread on this, fucking weird.

Agreed although the 50's had some great films too like On The Waterfront

1970s nihilistic bleakness and 1980s aspirational fantasy are both great in their own way.

50-70's Italian cinema is my favorite, 60's Italian is the pinnacle of cinema imo
I love everything about it, the politics, the exploitation, the arthouse, the comedies. American cinema just seems bland by comparison.
40-60's Japanese cinema
then 70's Hollywood, which had a strong Italian flavor
40-50's Hollywood
40-60's French cinema
>>69710359
Nope the 80's

The 80s was a joke and was the start of the pleb era. It had a few great films sure, but overall it signalled a huge decline in the quality of cinema thats hasnt ceased
