    Which decade would you pick as the best for great films?


    The 80's, and the whole 90's.


    Having said that, it's all subjective to when one was born, when did he grow up and stuff like that. If we're talking TRULY great films, i'd say the Golden Age.

    I'd say around the Roaring Twenties (1918 - 1933): it was a time of immense artistic development both in Europe and America, and movies were really trying to raise the bar of what was technically and dramatically possible. Arguably there's been more mainstream (i.e. studio and industry endorsed) experimenting in those decades than any following.

    It's that classic pioneer drive: nobody was setting any rules yet, so anything went!
    It didn't end with the advent of the studio system, but it did get more regulated and "dumbed down" in many ways.

    I watch a LOT of very vintage films, and I keep on marvelling at the sheer ingenuity and creativity and sense of true art that they were imbued with.

    Erik, to the non-nostalgic mind it's just another variant on the age-old quest story. Obi-Wan guides the hesitant knight errant on the road to fame and fortune. It's a little feel-good film that tapped into a very powerful sentiment in the early eighties: that of the "Wars not make one great, and I'll kick your arse to make that point".

    The dialogue is pure after-school special.
    Miyagi's gruff but endearing battle master with a past is a cliche per se.
    The dragon guy is completely one-dimensionally evil.

    It's formulaic.

    That isn't to say it's necessarily bad
    Like I said: it really packed the right punch for (pre-)adolescents at the time, especially when they'd feel like outcasts -another powerful issue in the eighties- .
    But it didn't do much for me as martial arts bore me to tears and the rest of the story simply wasn't interesting enough for the age I was at the time.

    Interestingly I found Macchio's later "Karate Kid With A Guitar" film Crossroads much more entertaining...but then I play the guitar, so the interest was already there.

    I remember the last time I saw the film, I was 11 or something, and I thought there wasn't enough karate at the time. I haven't revisited the film, although I'm sure my reaction would be based on different criteria now.

    Throwing nostalgia aside... it's a very well made and told film with a wonderful performance by Pat Morita!

    Loved this reply Martijn, unfortunately I have the vagueist of knowledge concerning this period....sad but true.

    My answer is the same as James, the 1970's, I'll elaborate a bit more tomorrow.

    70s for me I think. So many great films.


    ...and thinking further, if I were to draw up a list of my ten favourite films, then at least five of them would be from the 70s, and four of those would be directed by Francis Coppola (and the other one written by him). Patton, The Conversation, the first two Godfathers and Apocalypse Now.

    I have LOTS of nostalgia connected to the KARATE KID films (at least the first two and the FIRST in particular). One of my earliest VHS rentals as well, if memory serves. I was of course in the PERFECT target audience, being some 9-10 years old when I saw it. Must have been 1986/1987 or thereabouts.

    As for "favourite film decade", I'd pick the 1970's.
    I am extremely serious.

  22. If we're talking America, probably 70s.

    Favourite film decade: the 80's, the first half of the 90's and the 40's. OK, that's actually more than one decade, but who cares?

    Are you referring to the name of the composer, or the fact that they are making a video game for "Where The Wild Things Are"?

    Both sound equally improbable shocked
    And yet, their very improbability makes them believable...
