Movies today cannot even slightly compare to the movies of previous generations. Well they can, but when compared, the newer movies are nowhere near as good as the older flicks. It might be hard for some people to believe that some the wildly acclaimed greatest American movies do not have color and every laugh, action scene, and even nudity has purpose. According to filmsite.org's list of 100 greatest movies, as of 1998, there are only six movies that made the cut that were made in 1980 until 1998. Another widely acclaimed source for great movies, AFI.com, lists thirty-one movies from 1980 to 2008 on their list of the top ten movies of ten genres. This list is updated every year so there are some definite changes, but each list gives the number one spot to Citizen Kane. Citizen Kane is a black and white movie made in 1941 that won four Academy Awards. It's sad to say that Transformers will probably never be on either one of those lists. Half of the movies being released in the next few weeks will probably not make either list, but there are always exceptions.
