what is your favourite era/decade of films?
okay: i expect that most people will vote for the nineties purely because most of us here are in our twenties. that's fine. however, what i really want to know is why - what is it that attracts you to the films you enjoy? i assume that most people picking the nineties like the gloss and the glamour, but conversely there may be others who prefer the independant underground of the nineties' cinema.
personally, i have to immediately go for the sixties, just because of my fixation on the french new wave. i'm a sucker for that entire era (and the whole decade of the hollywood fifties which preceded it), and could watch it all day long. i love the colour schemes that came through in the sixties once colour hit, and i also love some of the remaining black and white stuff - where it's all really at its peak.
still, i have the nineties in my heart, having grown up on its film. despite the influx of commercial shite that began about that time, there's plenty of amazing films that i love. i don't dislike the eighties, but there was too much shit outweighing the likes of spike lee and john hughes (yes, a rather random pairing i know
).
i also ticked the thirties too, almost entirely due to my love for the master, fritz lang
