Rex Tremendae Majestatis
We all have had that couple of years that define our tastes, be it in music, literature, fashion, political views or movies.
Those precious years that leave an indelible mark on our psyche and that we revert to every time we think about our influences. We might grow up and out of certain tastes, or grow into others; we might admire and recognize "better" entertainment, but we never let go of the things that shaped our tastes.
So, which are those ten years in film-making that still accompany you?
For me, it has to be the decade between 1977 and 1987. No other ten years have put out movies that keep such a grip on my mind.
The entire Star Wars OT, Alien & Aliens, Predator, Excalibur, Midnight Express, Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, Angel Heart, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Saturday Night Fever, Nosferatu, The Deer Hunter, Evil Dead, Full Metal Jacket, Hellraiser, Less Than Zero, Conan, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Wall...
Oh well, the list is endless.
