He just took up the mantel of melting everyone's brains

Wish Georgie had done the same thing when he was making his space childen's movie desu
You should watch more old movies. There were many dumb hits before Star Wars. You just want to seem cool and criticize something other people enjoy. How dare they not like what you like!
>P-please George... Let us just make morally complex and formally interesting films for adults....
who are these three schmucks?
Obviously there has always been shit. But there was a brief period which roughly began with Bonnie and Clyde (1967) were young filmmakers (Bogdonavich, Ashby, Coppola, Altman, Scorsese, Friedkin, Raefelson) were given huge budgets to make thematically complex films for adults which ended about when Star Wars was released and Friedkin's Sorcerer and Scorsese's New York, New York subsequently bombed.

This isn't Twitter/Reddit
New Hollywood ended with One From the Heart and A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy
user... Did you just refuse to Consoom...?
>A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy
LMFAO I haven't heard this one before. What's your reasoning?
Decent flick
nta, but I'd blame Jaws more than Star Wars. Jaws arguably started the "summer blockbuster"
mostly because it was based on a Bergman flick
No, OP is actually consooming just as much as The Consoomers.
But how did that end the New Hollywood? It did modestly at the box office, like most Allen films with a few exceptions. The majority of great New Hollywood films were influenced by European art cinema, if that's what you're getting at. Did you just imdb two famous directors and look at their first film of the 80s?
Also it's not based on a Bergman joint. The title is similar to Smiles of a Summer Night, but that's about it. At most you could say there's twilight hour shots in the woods. But in terms of the narrative and themes, it's not similar to Bergman.
I'd say he broke the spell. I stopped watching Star Wars and buying any of that property's merch.
I didn't mean that they specifically ended new hollywood it's just that 1982 is almost always considered the cut-off
I always though Heaven's Gate killed New Hollywood since it lost so much money
You were still buying Star Wars merch in 2014? lmao
that is true
New Hollywood had a severe blow due to Heaven's Gate by Cimino.
JJ is to Lucas as Caligula is to Nero. Both were shit, they just differentiated in how they were shit.
>Cimino had an expensive and ambitious vision, pushing the film nearly four times over its planned budget. Its resulting financial problems and United Artists' consequent demise led to a move away from the 1970s period of director-driven film production in the American film industry, back toward greater studio control of films, as had been predominant in Hollywood until the late 1960s.[11]
Empire stuff was still cool...
Ok consoomer
This is now a New Hollywood recs thread. Everyone should watch McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Parallax View, Rolling Thunder, and Point Blank if they haven't
bossmode.
Coppola, Allen, and Scorcese.
