Follow Ups:
What a telling post! Almost (almost) every winner was the worst of the contenders, particularly "Chariots of Fire".
Of that bunch:Atlantic City -- Denis Heroux and John Kemeny, Producers
* Chariots of Fire -- David Puttnam, Producer
On Golden Pond -- Bruce Gilbert, Producer
Raiders of the Lost Ark -- Frank Marshall, Producer
Reds -- Warren Beatty, ProducerI think Chariots is the least offensive. Let's face it - Atlantic City had boobs and great Norma aria (was it Callas? I think so...), but it was an ultra-sentimental kaka. On Golden Pond was I thought so silly and corny I had syrup all over my pants. Raiders? Pass on. Reds? Oh, boy...
The Chariots might not be a great film, but that company did make it stand out.
I don't recall that year - what else was out there then? Could it have been as lean as this list indicates?
" Chariots "was a good film! I have always fun, which I do regulary, at watching it. Very British.
I like it much.I wonder what Rico do find wrong with it and with such pugnacity as it is not the first time that he state his unpleasure.
rico just made an example..If you take almost any post-1981 Oscar best picture winner, they almost uniformly SUCK.
Forest Gump. I will be forever baffled by Forest Gump.Forest Gump, Braveheart, the English Patient, Titanic.... Even the nominees from which these films were chosen pale next to previous years.
Not that the Academy Awards are a reliable guage, but the list here does present a decline, and while it doesn't begin with Forest Gump, with it the game has finally and definitively changed.
I blame Forest Gump.
I hate Forest Gump the movie too. It's the diametric opposite of Shawshank Redemption.
Exatcly what I wrote a few days ago, you just have to look at the chronology of the past" oscars " as you did to the " fall of the Roman Empire.
And I think that the great mogules of the past, did want of course makes money in the first but they had ambitions too, and that was to make good films, for the posterity. Look at the biography of the famous among them!
I think very few try to do that now.
Aprés moi, le deluge......
When was Marthy? 1955? The decay was already in full bloom.
Yes, after you could count the " good films ", but still some strong did make it till the Seventies.PS : Did you get " the first reunion pictures?
Pictures? No. Email?
Yes on Email !
No... let me send you one so you could reply again.But give me twenty minutes - I need to clean our mail area some. When it is full, some large files, like pictures, might make email bounce.
Actually Spamfire updated and since three days I have problems getting my post!
The first signs of trouble might have been the early-70's Irwin Allen disaster movies. Then came "Jaws" in 1975 - a fine movie, but also the first genuine Hollywood summer blockbuster. But it's 1977's "Star Wars" that once and for all changed the mentality of Hollywood toward producing big-budget special effects driven summer blockbusters that appeal to a broad youth audience at the expense of smaller films that appealed to niche older audiences. Reinforcing the trend around this time, production costs started becoming so high that producers, writers and directors had to answer to studio accountants and marketing consultants instead of relying solely on their own artistic vision and hope that a small, "quality" film would naturally find its audience.
What did improve in others part of life? Quality is sinking, just look around.....
--What did improve in others part of life?Healthcare.
How about the rise of computers and the Internet?
You know that the reason number one to die are medicaments, a stay in hospital may be lethal too.
