golden age of film?

[Yellow Fang]

Are we going through a golden age of film? For many years I thought the cinema was dreadful, but in the last two or three years there have been quite a few decent films. There's even a couple of British films out at the moment I'd like to see. It seems almost as good as the early 70s.

I hope so because, sadly, I go to the pictures these days prepared to be under whelmed. And am rarely disappointed.

'Carrington' was the last film I saw at the cinema. Good stuff.

Yup, Harry Potter comes out in July

It's a very good time for Japanese and Korean film. French cinema is in good health, and the German industry is turning out some fine products. I'm not sure it's a particularly good time for Hollywood in terms of quality though...

The only movies I get to see nowadays are aimed at under 10s

Emma Thompson -strangely alluring

I've only seen 4 films at the cinema in the last 15 years but I believe the Japanese, Korean and the South Moluccan film industries are thriving

According to Jacquie Smith's husband the Californian film industry is also doing well...

I only watch french movies from the 60s to 80s, so all this does not mean very much to me, so I am sorry.

Thanks to the British tax payer.

It could be worse. Watching French films circa 1960s-1980s would be far, far worse. Frankly I'd have her horsewhipped in the House and her knickers burnt for marrying such a ridiculous tool.

I don't think we are. Indeed, far from it. If you look at Hollywood between (say) 1946 and 1962 the comparison is stark. Great stars, where now there are none, cinematography to die for where now there is only CGIs, and scripts that would bear reading out loud where now there is only brutishness.
