"What has happened to the state of films"

Why has the cinema gone down hill and why has their been no classic films coming out. The state of the film industry this year has been poo but still it brings in billions a year. Why is it that i haven't seen a good film at the cinema since Two Towers and why is it that i went to see Equilibrium and came out feeling conned. Why has their been no classic films like usual suspects and lock stock and that we are reduced to this poor quility of films. We may as well watch the Cannes film festival. But in support of the film industry cradle 2 the grave was quite a good film but wasn't the normal quality. Has the standard of films gone down and if so why can't they do something to save it.

write your views on the state of the films

go on

Johnny English...eh...eh!

do you really think that cheesy poor excuse for a film will be a classic

You ask too many questions! Curious, eh?

Everybody has different opinions of what classic movies are.

You haven't seen a good movie since the Two Towers. Christ, it's near enough only just come out. Be patient. Not every single movie made is perfect. And definately not a classic. It's just what peoples' opinions are.

What's that say? I don't geddit.

Classic films aren't made in the cinema, film's gain classic status if people are still watching them in decades. It grates everytime I read someone write "Two Towers is a classic master piece", sorry "DA 2 TUOPRS IS DA BEST CLSUK FILMS". A good film released a couple of months ago is still only a good film.

Anyway: Donnie Darko, City of God, About Schmidt, Punch Drunk Love, Talk To Her.

Good enough for me. Far From Heaven wasn't bad either. Adaptation was worth a watch. As was Rules of Attraction, and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Haven't seen it yet, but Phone Booth is getting good press. Ditto 25th Hour.

But then if you think Cradle2 The Grave is the highlight of the past few months we're clearly looking for different things. So tempted to repeat you're "put down" to Kyz22...

you're = you are
your = your

Dr. Gonzo > proof-reading

film's = possessive noun
films = plural

I'll stop now.

Well, we've already passed the golden age of film (the '80s) so of course films don't seem as good as they used to.
