And, then there's 'The Matrix' and 'Blade Runner', the truly epic 'Lord of t Rings' and all the other amazing modern movies...

There are good new movies?
Why haven't I heard about them!
Re: Re: Old Vs New Movies
I think the most recent movie that is somehow good is Upgrade, in which a disabled guy gets a computer implant to overcome his disability and uses his new computer-powered abilities to try and find the people who killed his wife.

I don't want to be a bummer, but films from the 90s are already 30 to 20 years old. That does not count as modern anymore.

a classic!

I seem to feel that with the exception of a couple of handfuls of movies, th last decent movies were released around the turn of the millenium. Don't get me wrong, some of them are perfectly palatable, in the same way that going for a McDonalds after a night out on the turps is not unpleasant at the time But it's all very over-produced, for the money.
For me, the movies of the 80s and 90s were often cheesy yes, but boy, did they have some great stories and genuinely heart warming moments too. I have a hard time thinking of better movies than Back to the Future, Indiana Jones Star Wars IV-V, basically most of the Spielberg stuff and that sorta era. Th Matrix part 1 was kinda like a final curtain call on truly original epics.
Change my mind!

Movie? I thought The Queen's Gambit was a TV mini-series?
