Five Easy Pieces - DivX Version (Normal Quality), iPod/iPhone Version
|
IMDB rating: 7.50 Plot: Bobby Eroica Dupea (Jack Nicholson) comes from a well-bred family of musicians, and once showed great promise as a concert pianist. By nature a restless, angry individual, Bobby left his family and his music when he could no longer endure the dull, cloistered routine of daily practice. He took to the road, wanting to “see the world,” and hopefully find something or someone to quell his inner turmoil. He has settled in a small town as an oil rigger, where his life consists of going to work, arguing with his dimwitted but loving girlfriend Rayette (Karen Black), and bowling every night with his friend Elton (Billy “Green” Bush). Not surprisingly, this routine begins to disgust Bobby and, fed up, he decides to travel to Puget Sound, Washington to pay his family a visit. Leaving Rayette at a nearby motel, Bobby goes home and is reunited with his family. |

00’s: O Brother Where Art Thou, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Training Day, Gangs of New York, Million Dollar Baby, Cinderella Man, The Last King of Scotland, No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, The Wrestler.
My vote goes for the 70s.
You pose a very good and interesting question. The answer is very subversive. Everyone will have there own favorite decade for films they love. It could be said that each decade had there own great films. But I would have to agree with you that the 70’s had the best films. Although this past decade has been very good as well.

Every decade produces 25-30 must see movies(well, maybe not this decade). The 60’s beats out the 70’s narrowly, IMO. BTW, in almost every decade, the best movies are released in the first five years.
