What is Your Favourite Decade For Entertainment (Movies, Television, Music)

[Spam On Rye]

Almost wanna say the 70s just because I love Columbo and Sanford & Son so much but I grew up in the 80s/90s so my bias wins out. Also, TV peaked in the early 2000s really and has gone to shit in the age of social media.

Film: The Shining, Airplane!, Blade Runner, The Thing, The Terminator, Blue Velvet, Robocop, Predator, Beetle Juice, Indiana Jones, could go all day really.

You really wanna compare rasslin nowadays to the Monday Night War?

Wrestling sure that was better in the 90's but beyond that TV improved almost everywhere else. While movies took a nose drive.

I don't have a favorite decade. The closest I could isolate it would be to say that my favorite entertainment spans from the 70s till present day. The 90s till meow probably encapsulates a lot of my favorites as I grew up in the 90s, about '96 to the mid 2000s captures some of my favorite/most impactful games, anime, and music, but there's a lot of great stuff I've discovered since and am still discovering.

My favorite shows from the 90s that I could still enjoy are Deep Space 9 and probably Voyager.

Movies, probably Blade, The Matrix, Bad Boys.

Video games would be X-Wing, Lemmings, Crash 2, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII.

In the early/mid 2000s Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo I adore, KOTOR 1 & 2 I enjoy as much or more than any games in the 90s, same with FFX.

A lot of the music I listened to then I don't as much meow. That said, The Prodigy holds up.

The Lord of The Rings trilogy, Gladiator.

Doom 2016/Eternal I'd put against anything I grew up with. Same with Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate 3, etc. The Expanse is recent and super great. The first few seasons of GoT, HoTD, so forth.

So yeah. Best I can do. No particular decade.

 

[BisexualMMA]

80s. Many of the 70s acts like Heart, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, Tina Turner, Don Henley and Glenn Frey etc. were still active and releasing some of their best stuff.

 

[djacobox372]

If we are going by "best 10 year span"

77-87

 

[MLarson]

80s had the best movies
90s had the best TV shows
Mid 60s to late 70s had the best music

 

[MLarson]

Lol you listed some seriously lame TV shows. Truth is that TV is far better now than it has ever been.

Movies and music? Yeah maybe not

I hear this a lot but I really don't, except for few exceptions, here any talk about newer shows they like they did in past.

 

[Adamant]

1980s easily. That was peak life.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

1.) The 80s.
2.) The 90s.
3.) The 2000s.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

The music of the 90s was awesome.
Idk about movies. There have been some great movies in every decade, except maybe the 2020s.

TV, probably the oughts.

 

[Blayt7hh]

I hear this a lot but I really don't, except for few exceptions, here any talk about newer shows they like they did in past.

I’m not sure what you mean, like water cooler talk? There’s been quite a few like that. Game of Thrones, Squid Games, Stranger Things, Walking Dead just off the top of my head we’re all shows people talked about and were cultural phenomenas. The quality of the shows has also risen drastically since the 2000s began. Shows are like cinema quality these days. There’s so many good ones it’s almost pointless to name them like that.

 

[Tireur889]

I would say the 80's for music, the 90's for movies
