While Jaws and Star Wars spawned the blockbuster, groundbreaking film-makers pushed cinema to the limits with edgy drama and sparkling comedy.

I’m not exactly looking forward to reading someone’s attempt to justify the modern era as his or her favorite film decade…

Anyway, Carl LaFong, was there one for the ‘30s, or did the series start with the ‘40s? The ‘30s would probably be my favorite decade for film.

The season come again for winter’s tales,
I tell you one which my nurse told to me
As watched I warily the swirling snows.
“I’ll raise one up,” she swore, “of ghosts by night…”

I forgot the 1930s one. I'll post it on its own thread in a jiffy!
