This is why the 90's was the best decade for movies!

Just look at the 90's for movies. It was incredible. The Insider, Goodfellas, Shawshank Redemption, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Braveheart, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, American Beauty, Casino, Seven, The Silence of the Lambs, Forrest Gump, JFK, The Usual Suspects, Malcolm X, Fargo, Unforgiven, American History X, Fight Club, Good Will Hunting...

The list goes on!! Each movie has some of the greatest acting in the history of film and television. It makes me want to cry when I see the tripe that they release at the cinemas today. What happened to good, decent movies? I don't want to watch a ****ing 3D movie. I want acting! I want good stories. I shouldn't have to watch a DVD just to see what a good movie is. I should be able to see it in my local cinema.

I know people always talk about the 70's and 80's when it comes to film but I'm sorry, none of them even stand close to the 90's. Bring back decent movies!!!

Ten years on and your point is even more relevant today. Everything is dumbed down like mulch for infants, movies are either designed to make you dumber or cram woke propaganda into your eyes and ears for two+ hours.

Cinemas themselves are now starting to close down, especially since the COVID lockdowns. The 90’s now look like a golden era for Western Civilisation, just before it all crumbled.
