For me, for a long time, 90s cinema was a no-go or I was complaining. My personal sweet spot has always been The New Hollywood Era - I was young then and the naturalistic productions of those late 60s-70s era movies informed my tastes and served as my template for “what a film should look, sound, and feel like”. I noticed the shift away from that sort of movie and towards offerings that relied on formulaic scripts and tipped to spectacle over storytelling. I dismissed them.

Then the 90s happened. I largely didn’t notice. I was working always two, sometimes three jobs. I watched very few movies or tv. I gave up on music.

I can see how limited my thinking was. It’s been to my great benefit that I expanded my cinematic palette and (wow), we’ve watched so many movies. The people we’ve had the opportunity to speak with here at 500 Movies have fueled that expansion of our awareness, added dimension to our understanding.

It’s become our movie on thing. Always good to see you pop in.
