Cinematic history is basically the past or possibly future of films. Films have got unbelievably complex these days, with all the special effects and stunts that were not available over 50 years ago. Know because of all the hi-tech technology, films can be twisted in many amazing ways. Cinematic history can be easily studied, if you compare two films, one done in 1970’s and one done in modern day, the modern days one will have much more detail and technology used to produce and direct it.
A good example is ‘Shaft’, the original one was made in the early 1970’s and the newest one starring Samuel L. Jackson was released last year (2000). At the time of their release, these were both top movies. The original was one of the biggest hits in 1970 and the newest on was one of the biggest hits in year 2000. This is because people in the 1970’s did not have the technology we have now, so they thought they were watching the latest technology in cinematic history. Today is very much the same, last year it was ‘The Matrix’ and this year will probably be ‘Final Fantasy’.
Computer graphics is the thing of the future these days for movies, movies that have had thousands spent on them to show people how great and hi-tech they can get are usually the ones that make it to the top of the box office. This category will always be the prime topic for movies, because all movie need computer graphics.
There are many questions that can be said about cinematic history, for example:
What the most famous monster in cinematic history? My answer would be ‘Godzilla’ but some might disagree. These questions are what make cinematic history what it is, if there were no question to ask about the history of movies it would just be history.
What would you say is classed as the most popular achievement in cinematic history?

No you're not, it was an interesting read mate, just innaccurate.

I wasn't criticising you at all, just answering the points you raised on your topic.

No, history is solely the past, otherwise it would be Cinematic Future.

Stuns have remained the same since Yakima Canut did the stage-coach roll, just shinier vehicles. Ok, the technology is better, but they still made the same films, just with the best they had.

Not neccessarily.
Star Wars was made in the 70's and that still whips the llama of most movies.
Plus, 70s movies are generally accepted to be the heyday of cinema, because of the quality, actors taking different roles instead of repeating the same type, stories, directing.

The reason Shaft was one of the biggest hits of the 70's was because it was one of the 1st mainstream hollywood movies to feature a black character that wasn't a pimp or a criminal. It allowed a particular race of cinema fans to have a hero of their own, only a few years after the civil rights murders, demos and blacks getting the vote of the 60s. It was a genuine breath of fresh air for many, many people and also heralded the "Blaxploitation" movement. Another example of Hollywood leaping onto the bandwagon and exhausting a once original idea.

Like Tomb Raider and Super Mario Bros and Godzilla?

Nonsense. Utter nonsense.
Big shiny summer movies need computer graphics because they do not use plot, characters or anything other than throwing millions of dollars at a floater and hoping it works.
Smaller, more intelligent films don't rely on computer graphics. Reservoir Dogs didnt, American Beauty didn't.
