Favorite Film Decade

I love movies, I've been trying to watch a lot more of them and a lot that I've not seen, but here's a fun question: What is your favorite decade of movies and why?

Mine is the 1980s, I just love the feel of the films back then, so much wonder, imagination, fantasy, spectacle, science-fiction. Of many different kinds: I mean you had so many amazing films. You had titles like

Superman 2-4, Indiana Jones (trilogy), Somewhere In Time, Fox & The Hound, Black Hole, Star Trek 2-5, E.T, Gandhi, Footloose, so many, so many, Karate Kid. I just loved the 80s and the feel of fun and whimsical and at times the grand storytelling of films like Karate Kid, films that truly feel like they could never be made today, not out of content but out of just, "is it possible"? to make films of that quality!?

I think what films we like, tells us about where we want to be. I certainly love the nostalgia of 80s movies because it's my childhood, but where I really want to be is here and now, so I love current movies. I saw Mickey 17 in the cinema and Bugonia and Ponniyin Selvan, and I just like some of the notable films that will be remembered in the future and celebrated as the fine craft and art.  
Films represent progress and hope and ingenuity.

Did you know that in the 80s, you have to phone up a special phone number to get accurate time and set your clocks manually? Well that, or we could listen out for the church bells.
