Pursuant to our discussion below on Hollywood and its good films, some people had compiled the lists of good films of the seventies... looks like around 20-30 titles.So I was curious how many movies Hollywood produced during that time, and the numbers are hard to find, but for instance, there were 940 films released in just 2003, so make your guess regarding the volume of the seventies.
My guess is something close to 8000 or 10,000... of which 30 were good? Can't be THAT bad, even for Hollywood! I am sure you guy scan do better than that!
Could we at least get close to 1%?
