[QUOTE="Baltimore Jones, post: 215962, member: 3234"] I have no idea what the top 10 movies of 2014 were, I'm not even sure if I could name ONE of them as I don't see new movies very frequently. Note that when I'm saying "top 10" I'm talking about some theoretical objective measure of quality, not box office or "top 10 on Rotten Tomatoes". The list would almost certainly be closer to one of the lists that shutyertrap was annoyed with than it would be to a "top 10 box office" list. I also don't know that much about the state of creative freedom in Hollywood, so I could be wrong on that point. My thinking is going back to "The Code" and to the "studio system" where they were churning things out. For the biggest blockbusters yes it might be less creative, but now there is a far greater opportunity to make films on a low budget, meaning many more potential creators seeing their creative vision through. Things have also shifted a bit to television, mainly when it comes to the mainstream. If you could include, say, a season of The Wire or The Sopranos in when you're considering "films" from the appropriate year then I think that "motion pictures" as a whole are easily better overall now than ever (on average).
