During Ben Mankiewicz's recent intro to All the President's Men, he states that "There is no more important ten years in the history of American films than 1967-1976 when the movement known as the New Hollywood planted its roots in the industry."
He continues, "This cinematic renaissance which commenced in 1967 with such films as Bonnie and Clyde and Cool Hand Luke ... created a new interest in movie going for a generation disenchanted with the status quo and disillusioned with social unrest both in the home front and abroad during the Vietnam War. ".
I know that it is Ben's favorite time for American cinema and that, as a reporter and the son of a man involved in politics of the time, he loves All the President 's Men. He calls it "the best journalism movie ever made.".
I was wondering what people here thought was the best ten year period of American movies.
