I'm going for the 80's , most of my favorite films come from that era. But there are still some good films made in the 70's and the last two decades as well.

I went with the 90's, because my fave two movies came from that period; T2 and The Matrix. Many other cloolsome movies came out during the 90's too, like the first fully computer animated film; Toy Story, and other classics such as Jurassic Park. However, the 80's follow close behind because it has Aleins, and the Back to the Future trilogy ...

I agree with Otis on this one. The art of moviemaking was fundamentally changed with Jurassic Park in 1993. The ability to create a living being on film using CGI was a leap past using it to create water tentacles and poly-mimetic alloys (which were cool as hell, but largely science-fictiony).

But with the exception of Starship Troopers, most CGI looks crap and changing the subject slightly, I prefer model spaceships/craft etc in SciFi movies than CGI because it looks horrible and false.

I will vote for 90-2000. Alot of great stuff Pulp Fiction, Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Matrix, T-2, Reserviour Dogs, X-Men, Mystery Men, Waynes World, Waynes World 2 and many more....though the 80's and modern day are close followers.

The 80's gave us... - The Empire Strikes Back
- Back to the Future
- Raiders of the Lost Ark
- Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
- Aliens
- Terminator
So I'm going with the 80s. The 90s comes very close, though. And I think CGI is over-used nowadays (and I'm a Computer Science student, go figure). Often it seems pasted in there to make up for the lack of talent (not the case in Jurassic Park or the Toy Storys, though).

What about Taxi Man and One Flew over The Cuckoo's Next? Or The French Connection? Or Midnight Cowboy?

The 80's brought us the "Back to the Future" trilogy, only the best movies ever, so I went with that.

Today, most films are shit. I'm going to punch someone when another Romantic Comedy with Hugh Grant/J-Lo pops up.
But Shaun of the Dead looks brilliant. I'd watch that.
