What do you think are the best movies ever made?

We were talking the other day - we never thought stuff we liked in the 90s as 'okay' would now seem to be quality and classic, compared to the shit they put out now.

yes i agree although this is perhaps nostalga effect, and i suspect cmplain about new media is some sort of culturesplit trap, for example friend told of someone he talk to who said never watch any movies from before 2000 so take that for what its worth

also here is sad, perhaps movies are just dying dying dead, as in i have large collection of prettygood movies, but for some reason no inclination to watch any of them haven't turned on tv in i don't know how long.  very rare mood.  just seems like wornout way to tell a story.

perhaps this is because its all formalized tropework now.  too much legacy.  hard to make new way to work the medium fresh.  look at metropolis.  gotta just let unscript actors hope something new happens -- this is genius!  ha!  otherwise its just tvtrope mashup even if not intended that is what it can be factored to.  too much snapple in too little bottle, trying to put newway emotionshow onscreen.

also theatergoing is now passee and for some reason that is big part of movies as special things, not just at personal level but as culture event, camping out in lines, allhype allin defining moments for everyone.
I followed the Science, and all I found was the Money.
