In response to "This "signature role" discussion reminds me of a recent Twitter question: How do you define an old movie. Or, what makes a movie old." by TWuG

One subset of this that always interests me is how different early 80s movies look and sound to late 80s

Almost like there was a significant shift right in 1988. And I don't mean cgi, just any police drama is vastly different. I know that you can probably make that claim about most decades, but to me it's night and day for the 80s. I don't know if that was a change in camera tech, or foley sounds, or analog vs digital post work.


As for "old" I would say "before I took a strong interest in movies" so anything pre Raiders of the Lost Ark. Jaws is an old movie to me, but John Hughes movies are not.
