The Hollywood censorship code ended in the late 60s and it was before Cable and Home video dumbed movies down in the 80s.
Oliver Scott
Also directors gained more control over their films in the 70s allowing them to bring their vision to life. Before that the studio system was very restrictive and went as far as editing the films.
Logan Smith
Literally all of these are either made by pedophiles or are incredibly reddit-tier cringe.
Not a single kino on this list. KYS.
Seriously.
Christian Harris
left field movies performed well into the late 60s (leading up into the decade) and studios sought to exploit niches that ultimately overlapped with the interests of the 70s arts and crafts community.
Carter Thompson
trying too hard
Ian Price
you forgot about the mountain of shit out there too
Owen Gutierrez
70s kino is the only redeeming quality of the boomers
Jonathan Nguyen
meh. you could name 20 great films from any decade. 70s is overhyped.
Liam Sanders
fuck off fedora
Joshua Howard
name 20 from the 2010s
Julian Baker
There was also a ton of shit in the 70s. You have the benefit of the filter of time. Everyone stopped talking about the shit movies so it retrospect it seems like every movie of that era was great. There are still plenty of great movies coming out, they just don't always get wide releases.
Ryder Powell
It's subjective. Like he could but then you would say those were not your kind of films.
Cameron Butler
League of Decency had been dead for about 15 years by 1980... that's when people stopped trying to make the great american movie and focused on making a hit
Owen Carter
The theory is that after 15 years, a movement becomes historical. So Neo-Noir trails off in the 1950's and you end up with a Chinatown roughly fifteen years later. The Monster movie dies off and it's resurrected as a psychological monster movie in the 70's. American graffiti could really be set fifteen years before.
Luke Cox
What a tryhard little faggot you are
Jason Reyes
New Hollywood. If you were a famous director or had a famous director friend who would vouch for you, film companies would hand you a blank check to make a movie.
Look up the period of "New Hollywood". not a 70s movie but still fits under the "New Hollywood period from the late 60s to very early 80s.
Luis Cooper
You notice that movies from 1980-1995 fall into a much more comedic style of character study or fantasy-horror. Then from 1995-2010 you have huge amount of disaster films.
2010 to 2025 may comprise a style in the future.
Jackson Rogers
>2010 to 2025 may comprise a style in the future. christ i hope not
Christian Mitchell
There wasn't any more kino in the 70s than there were any other decade. I too can cherry pick the greatest 20 films of a decade and make it look fantastic. What no one sees is all the shit that was quickly forgotten.
Jace Carter
idk. Spielberg, De Palma, Carpenter, Eastwood, Mann, Ferrara, Malick etc. kept making great american films after 1980.
Easton Davis
Even 70s porn was kino. Prude retards and the dumb SJW shits still had no grasp on anything beyond losers hanging out in libraries.
Studios just let film-school kiddies run wild cause all the baby boomers were growing up and wanted to see 'cool' movies, not the boring old movies their parents wanted to watch.
Ryan Torres
80s films look so much better tho espically the arthouse stuff
Luke Wood
> I too can cherry pick the greatest 20 films of a decade Do it. Pick 20 movies from the 80's, 90's, or 2000's. >HARD MODE: 2010's
Ian Myers
>30 years after the end of the worst conflict known to man >disillusioned generation begins to question their place in the world in the face of rapidly changing society and technology
is it really so hard? everything is cyclical. the only downside to the current generations is everything has been mined to death, we need a new medium of expression.
Dominic Howard
>I hope not It's inevitable because of the economic downtown, critics will figure out how the stories parallel the economic realities and the way people use social media.
>idk. Spielberg, De Palma, Carpenter, Eastwood, Mann, Ferrara, Malick etc. kept making great american films after 1980. Yeah but they shift from making personal projects like Close Encounters to E.T. the extra terrestrial. Malick didn't direct from 1980-1995... and when he comes back with The Thin Red Line, it's in a deeply Classical style. My theory is that without the Gothic influence of the League of Decency, filmmakers naturally relied on more Classical influences.
Gabriel Torres
>Literally all of these are either made by pedophiles or are incredibly reddit-tier cringe.
>we need a new medium of expression. I would say video games, but faggot SJW hipsters latched onto and currently have a stranglehold on the independent market and will actively fuck you over if you don't fall in lock-step with their bullshit. Then you have the hollywood equivalents like EA, Ubisoft, etc.

I thought you guys said it was supposed to be hard. Are you sure you guys just don't watch that many films?

Lucas Nguyen
like half of those range from mediocre to bad
Owen Kelly

Anthony Smith
>Empire Strikes Back >Return of the Jedi >The Thing lol
Lucas Stewart
Turin Horse and The Tree of Life are the only good movies on that list
Henry Hughes
>asks for detailed reasoning >without giving his for choosing such shit movies as kino
Ryder Stewart
drive, BR2049, pseud horse, whiplash, the master, her, the hunt >with detailed reasoning can’t be fucked to type that shit out
Eli Baker
>drive Combined arthouse with a mainstream action film to create meaningful and emotional experience. >BR2049 amazing followup to the original film while still having its own identity >turin horse its frickin bela tarr, 'nuff said >whiplash intense character study, amazing performances by the two leads, especially Simmons >the master lowkey PTA's best film, very underrated >her possibly Joaquin Phoenix's best performance, timeless film that will still feel futuristic and cutting edge for decades to come >the hunt conveyed a delicate subject with suspense, great ending
Again, what's the problem?
Jordan Watson

Reminder that The New World and Revenge of The Sith are the two best films of that decade.
