The Last Starfighter - 1984
these are just more movies that came out in the 80s. Anyone remember these titles?
Also, I watched way more movies in the 80's and 90's than these past 6 years in the 2k years. It seems like the movies are not as memorable as the ones in the past or in childhood.
Am I right? Many movies released in 2k years were great.

About your 2k analogy, I think you are mostly right. First, when we watch movies when we are kids, I think we are more impressionable.
But today, as in terms of movies that capture the heart, not too many. It seems like hollywood is now going through this big epic story line recently. With LOTR, Narnia chronicles, Harry Potter and the Star Wars prequels. I find those movies memorable, especially Return of the King and Attack of the Clones. Another movie that came out in the 2000's I find memorable, but disturbing, is Black Hawk Down, but that's it for 2k films. I'm just not excited about collecting the latest movies, because frankly, they suck.
Now, while I think 2k film industry is lacking, I don't think the tv industry is going down that same path. I am addicted like crazy to CSI, Law & Order, Prison Bream and 24. The only beef I have, is that there have been other really good shows, but the networks refused to renew them and cancelled them. I can't believe Over There and Invasion have been canned, those are some of the best shows I have ever seen.
I also miss Third Watch, but that great drama had a good run.
