The 80's films! Hit after Hit! Year after Year!

The 00's are full of CGI! Which is ruining films as far as im concerned! Just look at '300' and the cgi used in that! Probably all shot in one studio 6x9ft room!
 
Surely it depenRAB on the type of movie?

This decade we've had Inland Empire, we've had Donnie Darko, A History Of Violence, V For Vendetta... none of them too heavy on the CGI.
 
I think what it is that we're lacking is teh big family blockbusters.

Nowadays you get fabulous thrillers, teen slashers, broad comedies etc but you don't get very many FAMILY films like the Indiana Jones or Back To the Future trilogies.

It seems to only be the animation houses who do these kind of films, I wonder why they've died out?
 
ok lets name some 90's or 00's films that will go on to be greats? that we look back on in 20yrs time apart from Lord of the rings trilogy!
 
Well, I didn't see Singing In The Rain until 2003, but that doesn't make it a 00s film!
(Sorry - don't mean to be argumentative :o)

(how long before this gets moved to the Movies forum?...)
 
I dare anyone to find a better film than the Goonies. There is a couple of minutes near the start which are comedy gold, ending with Chunk's truffle shuffle.
