I'll refrain from listing them today. But compared to today's films, which are always repetitive, lack new ideas, or are yet another adaptation of world literature for the 10th time, and are always much worse than previous adaptations, I also prefer the classics from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Cinema (and streaming services) is now all about Marvel superheroes and other rubbish from Hollywood. Relatively well-made films quickly get lost in the shuffle. Exceptions prove the rule; I was surprised by ‘Civil War’.
But these are also signs of the times. My previous ideas about ethics and morality are completely negated by current politics and world events. What is evil is suddenly good, and so on.
This is naturally reflected in films. Why should I subject myself to this unbelievable rubbish and watch it in the cinema? I only need to step outside.
Ok...
What really bothers me, though, is the poor image quality in the 90s. Digital cameras weren't as good as classic film material back then.
A very good example of this is ‘28 Days Later’. Danny Boyle deliberately filmed the film with semi-professional equipment to make it more authentic. Only the final sequence of the film was shot with normal film cameras. And you can clearly see that.
