Seriously, what the FUCK was it about the 1990s that made it so shit for film?
You look at any other decade for film before the 90s and there's a large variety of groundbreaking classics being made that stand the test of time but then you get to the 90s and its all just cheesy blockbuster shit.
The only genuinely great films were released early in the decade and probably started production in the 80s, such as Goodfellas, Home Alone and the Hunt for Red October.
Sure, there are some fun flicks like Groundhog's Day and Jim Carrey movies and action films like Terminator 2, Speed and Seven and so forth, but the genuinely intelligent, gritty and realistic films just weren't being made like before. It'll probably take until the 2030s for good films to start getting made again. What gives? Is it because of the success of blockbusters like the Empire Strikes Back made film makers focus only on blockbusters, and they never recovered to making films creatively again like they were in the 80s?

I think it's because a lot of the more creative filmmakers started making indie films instead of trying to make it in Hollywood and without anyone breathing down their necks they didn't put as much effort in as they would otherwise. Either that of the 90s was simply the time when embed related came into full fruition in the film industry.

What was with the 90's and those squiggly lines. What were those even?
Anthony Mitchell
He had his moments but on the whole I don't care much for him.

Compare Pale Rider to Unfogiven and say that again.

Weren't the 90's when neoliberalism began?
Ryan Edwards
Try the 60's

Huh never knew it went that far back. I thought the 60's were more like hippies, socialists and social democrats or something.
Joseph Harris

Its a bruce willis flick and is watchable despite its poor direction

watchable =/= good The Rock is the only Michael Bay flick that can be passed off as good, and that's if you're being generous.

You saw a lot less of the zig-zag lines and tiger stripes in the 90s, too.
Luke Hill

It actually goes back further than that! Try 1923 with the founding of the Frankfurt School in Weimar Germany.
