i was just wondering what people think about this. evaluations should take into account both past and present films, or you can have multiple catergories. pick the overall winner in the poll tho.
personally, i like japanese films. they've been turning out great movies for the last 80 (but only crap for 20 years before that) and they show no signs of stopping. classic hollywood (silent period through 1940s) is good stuff too, but america loses because we just can't make good movies any more.
