Yes there where plenty of influential movies in those times, but movies evolved ever since. Just because we have a lot of commercial crap these days it does only mean that it is a commercially viable medium. Also UK/US movies tend to be way to prude, and there are probably only around two dozen US movies that I would even consider in my top 100 of all times. Stop being so self-absorbed and widen your movie culture a bit  |
I hope you appreciate the irony in your post, but I'm sure you don't.
There's a reason the period between the 1930s and 1950s is considered the golden age of movies. Moviemakers made huge advances on the technical front -- cinematography, editing, production design, lighting -- and in terms of storytelling. But the greatness of the era goes beyond its historical legacy. Some of the most beautiful, moving, and timeless movies debuted during this time: Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Bicycle Thieves, Beauty and the Beast, Brief Encounter, It Happened One Night, The Third Man, The Best Years of Our Lives, Double Indemnity, The Philadelphia Story, L'Atalante, The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, Ivan the Terrible, etc. The list goes on and on.
So no movie snobbery here. If you're looking for pretentious and self-absorbed, I invite you to revisit your own post.
