No. There is still great family films like "Inside Out" this Summer.

Worst thing to happen to Cinema was the Production Code of Censorship that retarded film development in the US for years back in the 50s and into the 60s. Once it was gone we saw a boom in creativity in the 1970s.

I did not know about that Production Code of Censorship, but it is true that by the 70's, movies became less restricted, which in turn made that decade one of the best in cinematography if not the best.

It is also known as the Hays Code

Thank goodness for other nations pushing the envelope and stealing light away from Hollywood to finally break, but it was a terrible era.
