i wasnt alive then, but it seems to me that the early to mid 70s
was the best time for film. think about the ridiculous amount of
diverse good films coming out by kubrick, coppola, and scorcese
alone. before that it seems like people were too afraid to deal
with things in a frank and explicit manner, and after that things
got corny.
