Isn't this always the case? Have we ever had an era when people thought "glad to be in the current era of great movies"?
- skavi 5y agoI don’t know about movies, but a few years back, it seemed widely accepted that we were in a golden era of television. During the penultimate season of Game of Thrones maybe.
- cgh 5y agoYes, the 1970s. Even the uncompromising Pauline Kael recognized what was essentially the United Artists/auteur era as a sort of magical time. But it was relatively brief.
- matt-attack 5y agoI distinctly remember feeling like 1995 was absolutely amazing year for cinema. Toy story, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Usual Suspects, Heat, Casino, Seven, Clueless, 12 Monkeys, Babe, Get Shorty, Leaving Las Vegas, etc. A great time to be going to the Cinema.
