A good read IMO.

Nice article, though I would've been tempted to include Robert Zemeckis in the list.

 

[Rezzo]

They just don´t make movies like they use to anymore

Your right, The 40's are over.

Sad, really.

Not when you win an Oscar in the 90's for Forrest Gump.

 

[Kmack]

John Hughes was teh best

 

[The Shredder]

Very interesting article.

Thanks for the link.

Not when you win an Oscar in the 90's for Forrest Gump.

And Woody Allen grabbed a few oscars in the 70s for Annie Hall... your point?

I would have preferred for him to get an Oscar for Back to the Future than Forrest Gump.

T2 is better than the Terminator, so I will duel pistols with him.

That should be fun to watch.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

You know who else should have been included? Spielberg. All decades have been equally great for him.

`70s = Jaws and Close Encounter
`80s = Three Indiana Jones movies, ET, Color Purple, Empire of the Sun
`90s = Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan
`00s = Minority Report, Munich, and dare I say it...War of the Worlds

That the best movie Zemeckis made wasn't an 80's movie. That is my opinion, of course. Loved Back to the Future. Great movie. Forrest Gump was better (it's all about Lt. Dan!!!).

You may dare say War of the Worlds, it's great.

Disagree. The Terminator is better, though both stand as some of the best works of Science Fiction ever.

Oh, and to those saying WOTW, that movie sucked.

Back to the Future. Great movie. Forrest Gump was better

I should smack you with my hover board.

I don't understand the appeal of FG.

I think Contact is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay superior.

I counter by throwing buckets of SHRIMP!!!

 

[Warhammer]

If one thing is clear, the 80's were probably the time where movies were the most fresh and idealistic.

It's an American thing. It's like the Japanese and their love for giant robots.

I see you suffering the same fate as Biff.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I see you suffering the same fate as Biff.

You mean be an old man washing cars? Or beaten by a weaker man in high school?

I see the `80s as the decade where movies were the most fun. The `70s were great but too damn serious. So, in the `80s you needed to see Indiana Jones running away from a giant rock.
