Mad Max 1&2, the time where mainstream movies were good

[Izzy]

Did you warcxg Sin City?? 

What an adpt title for a film - honestly if that mess of cliche floats your boat then, well - more power to you.

Did that film have a coherant plot? Struck me as three random tales of violence - unpleasant people being unpleasant to other unpleasant people - honestly, was the audience supposed to care who lived and died?

It was a pretty good movie.  The cinematography alone makes it worth watching.

I agree with the general statement of this thread though.  Hollywood sucks.  The big budget/main stream movies are crap.  Especially the comedies (although Talladega nights looks hysterical).

you mean the godfather? reservoir dogs, any western movie, any gangster movie, dirty harry etc...im not sure that making movies about pleasant people being pleasant to others would be interesting to watch

im confused tho, what exactly are mainstream movies? and what movies are you specifically referring to?  The list of movies given seems a bit vague to make any conclusion

People were say the same shit in the 90's and the  80's .And it is some what of a bull shit argument .

The whole movies suck to day might be true to some but not to others.

Some peoples opinion is that manstream movies suck . and those people should probable stay away from them.no piont in going to see something that you already no you are going to hate.

alright, example

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059674/

The SandPiper by Vincente Minneli
Elizabeth Taylor (she is hot in the movie), Richard Burton, Charles Bronson ...
then famous names + big movie =  good movie.

now famous names + big movie = crap

so it's not about " people said the same shit in the 80's " ...

A History of Violence
Brokeback Mountain
Crash
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Lost in Translation
