I grew up in the 80’s/90’s. Those decades were chocked full of great sci-fi and fantasy movies. And I loved it. And while the pace slowed in the early 2000’s we still had stuff coming out that was good.
But now that river of content has slowed to a trickle. Yes stuff comes out still but it is cr@p. And I mean uber cr@p. Not only are they bad on their own but often times they poop all over their own source material.
At this point I find myself replaying old shows and movies over and over because well, that’s all their is at this point.
The point of this thread was not to whine but to see if we can get a thread going pointing out any lost gems from the past or find maybe some new ones. Maybe some diamonds in the rough.
I will start with a few that are not super old.
– AUTOMATA (2014)
– The Breed (2001)
– The Giver (2014)
Anything pre `1995 down to the 50’s’ is better than 90% of whats made today. But some of the good shows, perhaps not all in those categories would be.
Warrior Nun
Shadow and Bone
Christmas Chronicles
Dune (2022) heck even 84 was better than most stuff today
Black Sails (do not watch with young kids around) or do if you like to freak them out
Tudors
The Last Kingdom
Serpent Queen
and there is many good Indi/fanmade floating around you just have to search it out.
