Fave Movies, 70s, 80s, 90s

For the past month, I have been working on my movie pages. http://www.jahsonic.com/Movies.html

First I listed for each year (1960-2003) my favourite movies. Than I chose one per year to come up with a list per decade.

The reason I list one movie per year is that I believe that each year has the same amount of creative talent (except for war years, when there is no time/money to make art)

This is it:

PS. In compiling this list, I was inspired by an Andrea Juno quote on Cronenberg. Something about low and high arts, basically.

Her it goes:

David Cronenberg manages to create films cerebral enough for the loftiest of critics, yet bloody enough for the mosted jaded gorehounds. -- V.Vale and A.Juno in "Incredibly Strange Films".
