Why do I feel like there was a cultural movement of "artistic" films in the 90s that grungy baristas would claim "you probably wont get the subtext of the film, man"?

And what would you call films from the 70s then?

4 pages in and no love for The Big Short? Smart writing, inventive use of celebrities and 4th wall breaking to explain economics to the masses.

Commando, I'm still trying to figure out the physics behind a chubby guy in chain mail going toe to toe with Arnold.

It must just be on another level of understanding

Total Recall for me. Is he Quaid or Hauser? Such a great movie.

Well trapping Farrah faucet in an ambulance for a road trip might be one of the most brilliant moves in human history.

Chernobyl

I know it's technically a limited series and not a feature film, but whenever dude said "It's not 3 roentgen, it's 15,000." - I expressed more disbelief and shock (visually/verbally) than I did when Ned Stark got his head chopped off. They did a GREAT job of explaining the complex basics of nuclear power where even I, the most average of viewers, felt super smart.

It's an outstanding show. What I said on the original thread regarding the trial in the final episode:

Quote:
The description of how the accident occurred by the two scientists was outstanding. It couldn't have been easy to create dialog to describe such a complicated event in an easily understandable way, while at the same time being dramatic and interesting.
