Your Era of Choice

[Tellyn]

Did you just say that the 80s was a golden era of film?

 

Who ya gonna call?

I'd have to agree with Tellyn. It may not be THE golden era, but so many of my favourite films have come from the 80s.

Hmmmm the 80s is a bit PS2 games selection in my mind. Some really good films in there but diluted by the torrents of rubbish. In my mind the 80s was when "cinema" died. It thankfully started getting reborn (gradually) in the end of the century.

Yeah, but then I think there were more films for everyone, due to such a large selection. I like your PS2 games selection comparison, I think it fits it well.

 

Certainly, it's better than it is nowadays, with every film being an action movie, or an epic, or comic book, or loveshitfest.

True, movies have indeed slammed into very neat genre boxes havent they. Time for my shameless plug of the day:

 

Everyone (of the right age needs to see Tideland, one of the latest films by Terry Gilliam. It's a masterpiece and beautiful cinema.

I'd says its the exact opposite really, if you look beyond anything that has the words "Jerry Bruckheimer" in it

Why on earth would you want to live in the past though? Now the future, that's much more interesting. Don't know what's going to happen, see?

[Wesley]

Well we're not talking about going back in time so don't worry.

I'm an 80's and 90's man meself. A lot of good things happened in both decades, films and music were also pretty good.

[Rummy]

Being a 90s child basically, I'd say I liked the 90s. Very good on the gaming front, once the biggest part of my life, growing up you'd never see me without a game in my hand, I'm surprised I turned out so normal!

However, I kind of wish I was in the 80s, I dunno why. I like alot of music from the 80s, I reckon it would have been a pretty funky time to be around plus the games industry was kicking off with the NES and stuff, so it wouldn't have been all bad. Funny thing is though, I'd like to have been both a kid in the 80s, and a young adult in the 80s like.

 

I created this thread a very long time ago..

 

 

THE 80s for everything. Music cartoons and movies....

 

That sums my thoughts up much better

[Jimbob]

80's and 90's for me. Best era for the rock music and action movies.

[mcj metroid]

The 80s had ghostbusters, The best of star wars,back to the future trilogy,terminator,aliens,Die hard....etc

 

nothing can top these.

 

For cartoons? Thundercats,Ninja Turtles,Transformers, Captain planet .MASk(has the greatest opening ever), Inspector gadget, CHIPMUNKS!Racoons etc

 

 

And for music. ha More or less everything. the best bands ever were at their best in the 80s.

[GigaPlay]

Live for the future folks, not the past.

 

I happen to like the current decade. Though I must say I preferred the 90s mainly because I was born then and so my youthful ignorance made it all so much better.

 

Besides, with the current decade you can see all the films from all of the previous decades and more! You can also listen to your music (though I don't care for that kind of thing).
