The 20th century didn't truly end until iPhones and corporate social media became a thing and the recession happened. 2008 is when the American Century ended.
Dirty Harry was an adult movie for boomers who were in their 20s when it came out. Star Wars was for everyone, including Gen Xers who were kids at the time. They had different target audiences and demographics.
So they're different generations. The oldest Gen Xers were 6 when Dirty Harry came out, they weren't the target audience. Star Wars and movies from the 80s were their generation-defining movies.
Late 60's cinema is the last run of movies that actually feel "real" to me
For example, somehow I'm able to buy in and immerse myself into the original planet of the apes yet supposed masterpieces like dunkirk feel fake as frick. I can't explain it but it just is.
That's funny because some would argue it's the opposite. Planet of the Apes has very cheesy special effects (although they're also very impressive) while Dunkirk is part of the new clade of Hollywood movies which are ultra-realistic and meant to immerse you.
Modern cinema is annoying in tons of little ways that are hard to describe, soundtracks is one area. It's glaringly obvious how much the score telegraphs emotion in modern movies, and I hate it.
I agree, but it's pretty much the main zoomer franchise along with the MCU movies and maybe the Star Wars sequels, but from my experience most zoomers don't care about Star Wars.
Well Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are easily the two defining franchises of the millennial generation, even if you personally didn't watch them. The shitty Star Wars prequels and Pirates of the Caribbean were also influential to many millennials.
I think that the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter franchises are definitely two of the most influential ones of the millennial generation. I personally didn't watch them growing up, but I can see how they would be very influential to those who did. The Star Wars prequels and Pirates of the Caribbean movies were also popular during this time, but I don't think they had the same cultural impact as the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter franchises.
people forget that stuff like Star Treks is, Rodenberry was a greatest gen not a boomer and most of them would have been small children or babies when it was on
>70s
Probably the only time "blockbuster" and "art" actually coincided with one another since The Godfather actually made money. For my part, I usually prefer either older or newer films. >80s
the most kino decade for blockbusters >90s
apart from several standouts, a weak decade for blockbusters >2000s
basically a repeat of the 90s but LOTR mogs everything from the 90s >2010s
I like the MCU but it drowned everything out to the point that everything is either capeshit or A24
X for the win
The 80s was definitely an awesome decade for movies.
being born in 69 and matinee tickets costing like two-three bucks did make for awesome movie going in the late 70s/80s
Gotta be Gen X
Cinema peaked during 60s-90s. It all started going to shit in the 2000s with a few rare exceptions here and there. 2010s-present is abysmal.
You’re absolutely right anon. The late 20th century was something special
The 20th century didn't truly end until iPhones and corporate social media became a thing and the recession happened. 2008 is when the American Century ended.
plainly genx wins
>boomers: music
>genx: movies
>millenials: games
>zoomers: homosexualry and sucking Black person wiener
: games
Do you even Nintendo?
Gen X, easily
t. Millennial
Also,
>Selfish
>Open Minded
>Pissed-Off
>Cynical
>Tech Savvy
>Entitled
>Lazy
>Independent
>Anti-Social
These are the ones that apply to me.
Are you a tech wizard?
I like the edgy 70's movies but the 80's has the most classic movies out of any decade
>millenials
>tech savvy
When was the last time you saw a millenial without an itoddler phone???
They grew up on electronics
>Caring about other someone else's phone in current year
>Not understanding that *NIX based systems are better than Windows
Not going to make it
kys freetard
Hunger games is the only good movie on here
Ancient Greeks
>zoomers
>hunger games.
If you watched the Hunger Games movies as a teenager, you're a zoomer.
Found the zoomer
>1971, 1977, 2001 and 2012
Ah yes those are clearly 4 generations right after each other
Dirty Harry and Star Wars were 3 years apart, OP.
Maybe you should go back to preschool and learn basic arithmetic.
Oh eh, 6 years, still small difference. 6 years is nothing. You were watching Donald Trump get elected 6 years ago.
Dirty Harry was an adult movie for boomers who were in their 20s when it came out. Star Wars was for everyone, including Gen Xers who were kids at the time. They had different target audiences and demographics.
yeah? and?

I miss webcomic humor
You know control alt abortion or 8 bit theater.
Boomer humor is The Simpsons, Gen X humor is Family Guy, millennial humor is Bojack Horseman, and zoomer humor is r/dankmemes.
>Boomer humor is The Simpsons, Gen X humor is Family Guy, millennial humor is Bojack Horseman
all of them gays
Funny how the boomers depiction of kids these days is exactly what this image is.
For me it’s gen z humor

The soundtracks in modern movies all sound the same.
>rising bassline artificial tension
>brrrrrrraaaaaaaaAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
>tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
>repeats throughout the entire film
What was the last movie that had a memorable soundtrack? Man of steel?
Idk pirates of the Caribbean maybe?
Gen X and everyone knows it
>most kino movies
>most kino shows
>most kino games
>most kino comics
>most kino books
Then why do they exhibit horrible taste at every turn?
The hunger games is an objectively bad story and the movies are also objectively bad.
I agree, but it's pretty much the main zoomer franchise along with the MCU movies and maybe the Star Wars sequels, but from my experience most zoomers don't care about Star Wars.
Star Wars is not genX, Matrix is more genX.
Maybe the 2000s.
The 60s movies usually have a critical flaw, age badly or too abstract to mean vague important.
80s might be a good second, but their sequels are always bad.
The 90s was just the wannabe 80s despite making fun of them all the time.
I am millenial and never watched harry potter and never will.
Well Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are easily the two defining franchises of the millennial generation, even if you personally didn't watch them. The shitty Star Wars prequels and Pirates of the Caribbean were also influential to many millennials.

Growing up the only movies I gave a shit about were LOTR
X all the way, baby!
lol who made this? who the frick is more entitled than boomers?
I always found it said how the pre-boomers got forgotten. Audie Murphy is John Wayne or Clint Eastwood level.
people forget that stuff like Star Treks is, Rodenberry was a greatest gen not a boomer and most of them would have been small children or babies when it was on

Those movies were all made by the generation before them. So move all those over to the left by one notch
