What was your favorite era for movies?

Shouldn't Teen Slasher movies fall in the 80's?

Anyway, I vote 90's. Great Disney Movies, Home Alone, Ace Ventura, The Mask, Boyz n The Hood, Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, Friday, Leprechaun, Batman Forever etc.

I don't have a favorite decade for movies....I have favorite genres of movies.

Maybe, because a lot of those i was thinking were in the late 70's were actually like 1980 - 1982

but....

the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween were in the 1970's, 2 of the greatest and most influential.

The first proper slasher movie "A Bay of Blood" came out in '71.

But I did think "Friday the 13th", "Terror Train", "Prom Night", "Happy Birthday to Me" came out in the 70's, but they just barely missed (1980, 1981). And the 80's had "Nightmare on Elm Street"and "Childs Play" as well.

So, good call.

@AFBrat77:

Yea it started in the 70's but it the genre was milked in the 80's.

And Child Play is a classic and actually was broadcast earlier today. National Lampoon Vacation was too.

Now that I think about it, the 80's had some classic movies too. Predator, Karate Kid, Batteries Not Included, Coming to America, Big, Robocop, Scarface, Gremlins etc.

There are great movies scattered over all eras, I don't have a favorite one.

1980 = bad stop-motion special effect and ugly actors

1990 = Bad CGI (except for JurassicPark) too many bad chickflick movie

2000 = rise of the trilogy, sequels and remakes.

2010 = people realise tha Pixar is finally sucks

Terminator's 2 CGI was so suckish....

Don't really have one. I enjoy films.

Era seems too odd to look at in this way

No thanks

I like movies from all sorts of different eras. However this modern era is a fantastic time to enjoy films. There are so many films, both big budget and indie films that set the bar for good film making incredibly high. There is pretty much a movie for everyone now days and they are released consistently. As a lover of film these last few years have been fantastic. There's almost always a movie to see.

70's because of serious sci-fi flicks.

I generally just love films, although if I made a favorite film list of lot of those films would be 80s films.

40's and 50's + 80's onwards. The 60's and 70's are sort of an EH spot from me despite a lot of great stuff.

I like films from the 80's and 90's

1930's: Gangsters and Screwballs?????????????????????????????? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!! The 30s were considered to be the Golden Age of Movies;

It was a great era for: Monsters: Frankenstein, Dracula, King Kong, Invisible Man, Werewolf, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Jekyll and Hyde.

Great movies include: Goodbye Mr Chips, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Scarface, Gone With the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Adventures of Robin Hood, Mutiny on the Bounty, Stagecoach, Little Woman, City Lights and way too many others to mention here. You'll just have to google. Also Snow White, Disney's first full length animation.

Yes, I know it was considered that.....but I'm not going to annoint any single decade "The Golden Age" in this Poll. and i am aware of the movies of the 30's, not my favorite decade, but certainly a boom to the industry. Wizard of Oz remains one of my favorite movies.

Glad that you enjoyed that decade.

Torn between 60's and 70's

Well the answers are pretty spread out, certainly no clearcut favorite at this point.

Lol hard to guess which one you where going to pick

70s and 80s I guess.

I know I'm a bit biased being born in the 70s so nostalgia's in effect I'm sure, but it seems to me that the 70s and 80s were a time where special effects were just getting to the point where they could get the job done in compliment to supporting the script, but not so much that the script could be thrown away in favor of CGI. Great writing had to exist. Now it seems the script is simply there set up as a pretense to shove every new CGI effect at the audience. It supports special effects instead of the other way around.

As a consequence, movies have turned into theme park rides with little substance instead of substance aided by decent enough effects.

What you have there is favorite 'decade', not era; and your descriptions for each don't really work out. "Eras" in film are not just confined to decades, and they often crossed over.

Just replace era with decade then, no big deal.

Also, no need to make a big deal about the descriptions, they are relatively unimportant to the Poll, just added some. I think I hit the mark decent enough, but they were simply an afterthought, I didn't even bother with the 80's on. I guess since I'm older than most here, I may realize that these minor details are not important in the grand scheme.

Definitely the 80's.

It was the age of the cheezy action movie and gave us so many classic horror movies.

80's. Very vibrant time for movies. Action movies also unabashedly fun.

That's the spirit,such a positive attitude. :)
