I did the film major thing for about 2 years and I really dont see how cinema was SO much better than it is now. I mean I do have quite the soft spot for older flicks because it is generally all about the dialogue which is what I adore. I happen to detest ostentatious special effects, I pretty much hate them period actually. However, there was some serious crap made back in the day. A lot of movies were pumped out for the simple fact that countries needed distractions during war time, people initially hated CITIZEN KANE.
I think there have been great movies produced in the recent years and we may have a bit more crap coming out than we did decades ago but not by much. Just to site examples I thought were note worth (though I know some will disagree and thus I will be bashed but oh well)
