Yes, in terms of direction, acting, screen writing, many older films are superior.
Yes, I mostly think this because I was a film major in school.
Yes, I love Starship Troopers, Varsity Blues is one of my favorites too.
But I admit that I seek out non-intellectual, highly visual sources of distraction. That is what modern movies mostly are. That is what modern viewers weaned on MTV with 1 second attention spans (like me, and maybe you too) want.
These are the movies that make money, and there is no arguing with that.However, if you ask Joe Public the 10 best movies of the 20th century, most will come up with 5-6 out of the 90's simply because public memory is poor, and film history is not something most people know or care about. That is what I was pointing out.
Just like Michael Jordan being the greatest athlete of the 20th Century - do you really think he did more than Babe Ruth or Muhammad Ali, or did he just do things that are more recently capptured in public memory?
