I could potentially at some point in a way. I haven't watched as many films from the late 1960s to the early 1970s compared to other eras though. That's cause the late 60s and early 70s mostly sucked for films. Like how many good movies can you name from 1970? I can't recall anything that sticks out from that year at all lol. Most movies don't register from that time general period with the exception of a limited amount of chessy horror or sci-fi films (dracula or godzilla sequels) or artsy/experimental films by andy warhol and kenneth anger or a few classic films from 1971-1973ish. 1971-1973 : clockwork orange, godfather, dirty harry, tales from the crypt, silent running, the pink flamigos, the exorcist, soylent green, american graffit, mean streets are a few of the top of my head.

Both are great but I’d say 2010s

I also think the 2010s really perfected the period piece.
A lot more effort has been given to making historical eras depicted in film more accurate than in previous decades, in my opinion.

The 2000s. The 2010s had a lot more reliance on revivals and reboots (which I tend to dislike, a la Ghostbusters 2016 and the Ocean's 8 reboot).
Plus, there were more classic and groundbreaking films that I enjoy like Slumdog Millionaire, The Dark Knight, Mean Girls, etc.
ItsMichael, daywatch, and 1 more like this

2010s got better towards the latter half of the decade. I remember constantly hating reboots and complaining about it more than the 2000s.
In the 2000s it was usually just about bad or cheesy use of CGI, some shows having mediocre animation compared to the 90s, or bland horror movies, some at least. Occasionally movies like transformers, star wars episode II or the scary movie sequels were talked about as bad films. But it wasn't like everything single thing was bad.
In the 2010s there was far too many clearly obvious movies, coming out of nowhere and based on things that were not initially super known or popular in the 2010s, made to just sell marvel merchandise and nothing more. Most of the superhero movies should have been made in 1989-1997 when there was bigger comic book fanbase of fans, due to the surge of popularity of collecting comics at this time and the animated cartoons, actually caring about the obscure characters and franchises initially.
I think the other movies would have worked much better instead of movies like batman forever, the phantom and spawn the movie.
They ruined the so many of franchises when they could have been masterpieces if made in the right way at the right time.

I think both were fantastic decades for film but the 2010s had Disney monopolizing the industry. They bought out Fox.
The 2000s had a darker vibe I really liked. I've always called this the darkest decade for pop culture, and the movies support my case. Revenge of the Sith, The Dark Knight, even a lot of animated films like Coraline. Unlike the colorful family-friendly wholesome shite of the 2010s. Just compare anything from the 2000s and 2010s in general, the 2000s have this dark and edgy aesthetic I really dig.
Above all else, the 2000s had the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which the 2010s doesn't really have anything comparable. So therefore, the 2000s wins.
You should've turned this into a poll honestly, it definitely would've been interesting to see people's opinions visualized.

Definitely the 2000s. Films got progressive worse in the 2010s, specifically the latter half but 2019-2021 has to be lowest point in mainstream cinema ever.

The sad thing is I do not see 2022 being different. Maybe 2023, but definitely 2024 will be different from now in terms of movies. I do not believe 2020s movies and TV are established yet. I do not know what defines the 2020s in those areas. In 2001, we had a clear view of what 2000s movies and TV were about. Ditto with 2011 for 2010s movies and TV. I do not see that being the case in 2021 for 2020s movies and TV. Disney Plus is all I can think of which came out in December 2019. All of the highest grossing hit movies from 2015 to 2021 are sequels. 2015 to now is all a big blur of sameness with movies and TV. I cannot tell if a movie or TV show episode was made anywhere from 2015 to now like I could with the 2000s to possibly early 2010s. In terms of movies and TV, 2020 and 2021 so far are a late 2010s extension.

You can also say Today's Mainstream Cinema is similar to Classic Hollywood of the Mid-Late 1930s and the first years of the 1940s in a way. During those days, Hollywood movies played it safe and very strict for the most part. Hays Code of 1934 had a lot to do with it. www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-the-hays-code-1934/

@potato that video is spot on LOL
Chris Nolan movies you can't even hear the voice also he is right when too many things are happening on the screen for the sake of circle jerk, also Superbad ruined
comedy movies for a few years.
