This thread makes me remember how far the movie industry has fallen.

1993 was a good year
1994 was a great year
1996 was a great year
1997 was a good year
1998 was a great year
1999 was a good year

Same for years 2000-2003

The question really is:

Is 1993-2003 the best 11 year run in movie history?

1939


I don't know what year anyone would say is "modern" and the year before not modern. I agree 1939 was the pinnacle of achievement for cinema and no year has topped it.
