Rubin Farr Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I would normally go with the 70s myself, as I love the terrible fashion of the period, as well as the revolution in the scifi genre. But the 80s had a lot of gems as well, especially horror flicks.

awepittance Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) the 90s would probably be my favorite decade simply because it holds most of my top ten favorite films. I was going to say the 80s which seems obvious but the 80s didn't have Millers Crossing, Barton Fink and Fargo. it also had: Nixon, Man Bites Dog, Being John Malkovich, Crash, Existenz, Naked Lunch, Total Recall, Terminator 2, the Insider, Goodfellas, Jackie Browne, Pulp fiction, City of Lost Children, A Straight Story, 12 Monkeys edit: the 90s is a double edged sword though, as it had some of the worst movies in it as well. I can't just randomly sit down and watch any 90s movie and expect to be entertained like I can catching a random 70s movie on tv.

Belly among others for sure, like the Cell, Natural Born Killers or Greg Araki's 'teenage apocolypse' trilogy namely the strange hyper sexualized film Doom Generation. Also the 90s generated the new genre of 'mumblecore' lol. Steven Soderbergh became a household name during this era also the 90s gave birth to the mostly horrible genre of found-footage movies as well as a rebirth of the mockumentary hand-held format like Waiting for Guffman Edited October 6, 2013 by John Ehrlichman Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/80756-which-decade-had-the-best-movies/#findComment-2071510 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 isn't the consensus among film critics the 1970's?

Zephyr_Nova Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Late 70's-mid 80's --great period for horror and sci fi in particular. You can point to almost any era and find no shortage of good drama and a few good comedies, but good horror and sci fi doesn't happen often. Plus it seems like directors were a lot more experimental in this period, in part because they needed to be when it came to things like special effects. Things got boring when film makers became overly reliant on CG, which lead to less creativity and ingenuity overall. (Generalizing of course, but I'm sure most of you what I mean.)

This is when the genre was basically destroyed, humiliated and re-invented. I can't think of a truly 'horror' movie from the 90s that I really love. I can think of some comedy horror ones like Dead Alive/Brain Dead but that's about it.
