Watched Chinatown yet again tonight. I'm even more awestruck this time around. Towne and Nicholson. Their peak. goodvibe61 Aug 28, 01:44

That's why the 70s was the greatest era in cinema, IMHO numbersix_99 Aug 28, 02:42

Agreed (list of my favorites inside) ~JPV~ Aug 28, 06:56

You could say that about any genre an then what movies would you have left to make? {nm} JDolphin Aug 28, 13:19

Oops -that was supposed to be in response to Choosenoone post (maybe he has magic powers that stop people responding to his posts :) ) {nm} JDolphin Aug 28, 13:20

I'd only count about 1/3 of your list and add these in JDolphin Aug 28, 13:47

and '75 might have been the best oscars. Chinatown, Conversation and Godfather 2 were all nominated for Best Picture. {nm} Moviesnob Aug 28, 09:53

funny, was talking about box office performances and how the quality of films have changed in the last 40 years. lobogotti Aug 28, 05:28

Well, a subjective take, but. . . second gary Aug 28, 07:17

6-10 is actually prettyy darn good! I did not see the Hill analysis, got a link handy? {nm} lobogotti Aug 28, 12:50

movies havent changed though. Distribution has {nm} Moviesnob Aug 28, 10:06

its better to say, the overall quality of movies hasnt changed. But distribution has and movies have changed to keep up with those changes. {nm} Moviesnob Aug 28, 10:18

its not the genre that matters. Its the quality. Its like saying Star Wars was solid, but why make another sci-fi film? Moviesnob Aug 28, 10:23

Maybe it's the Millenial in me--"Chinatown" was solid, but what's the use of another mystery/noir? I am still curious about "The Two Jakes". {nm} chosenone2oo5 Aug 28, 10:16
