You know how, today, we take inspiration or look up to “classic” films like The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption? Well, what did people in the 80s/90s look up to? 70s movies? Black and white movies? What were seen as classics back then?

    The Godfather came out in 1972

    Planet of the Apes in 1968

    Apocalypse Now in 1979

    Close Encounters of the Third Kind in 1977

    2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968

    Halloween in 1978

    Taxi Driver in 1976

    A Clockwork Orange in 1971…

    Great cinema existed before the 80’s.

      I was gonna say, people were parodying and mimicing those movies then in the 80s and 90s.

      Animaniacs alone had parodies of all that. Muppet babies too.

      Lately I viewed Close encounters of the 3rd kind. Hasn’t been my cup of tea. Boring plot.

      But I’ve liked the time dilation aspect. The previously missing didn’t age. Maybe their velocity was so high relative to Earth’s velocity before landing on Earth. Maybe they were near a supermassive black hole. Maybe both?

      It’s a flick so maybe it was magic, not time dilation.
