Do you think you the movies of the decade of your youth are the best?


I am all about 80's, 90's movies.
Those are my favorites.
No specific Genre, just

the feel,
the one liners,
the background music,
the doesn't make no sense why anyone would have sex at this moment,
you knew the bad guys by their majestic hair or scar,
suspense films made for adults,
kids being the star,
the just a little outside bad acting

Personally, I think the movies of the 60s were the best closely followed by the films of the 70s and 50s. I wasn't born during any of those three decades. The films of my childhood and teen years (80s and 90s) were mixed, some good ones, some bad ones.

Born in the early 70's a teen in the 80's.

I don't like 70's films much, obviously some standouts but many of them have a depressing and slow feel to them.
80's films can be fun but especially the teen ones can be pretty empty plot wise.
90's films for me are reliable.

I actually prefer films from the late 20's through to early 60's the most.

Edit: In terms of films from 2000-2010 some are ok, after that I tend to lose interest.

When I think of films from 2010-2020 I tend to think of never ending franchises, remakes, reboots, Woke themes, superheroes.

I was born in the 70’s and my favorite eras are 60’s - 80’s.

No. Okay, the "decade of my youth" would be the seventies and/or the eighties, and I know the Seventies are supposed to be considered some sort of Golden Age of Film but I'm not very nostalgic about the major films of that era, or the films that obsessed me as a stupid kid.

Oddly, I keep finding that in addition to my love for films from the 1930s, 1950s, and 1960s, I'm nostalgic for the films of the 1990s, an era when I was edging into middle age. Either it was a really great decade for films, and I'm the only ones who appreciates that fact, or I'm nostalgic for a period of my life that wasn't much fun at the time...

I find most 70's films to be depressing and slow.

I love films from the 30's to early 60's. The look of them, the scripts and acting. So much subtext as well, given censorship of the times they manage to convey a lot without straight up being able to show it or have characters say/spell it out.

this.

Born in the 70s, not such a mad fan of films from that decade, though there are some genuine 70s masterpieces.

Most of my favourites come from the 60s or 90s.

reply

No. I was born in the 80s and I would rank the decades as follows

1970s
1960s
1950s
1940s
1930s

I'd say the same about music, etc..

reply

I don't.

reply

No, the 70s had lots of greats in my favorite genres but that's true of all eras imo
