You don't consider the current plague of studios
strip-mining 1960's TV shows for material to be a movement?

I guess to me a movement is a ground breaking film that causes the
studios to imitate it to death. I think it just sounded more noble in
the old days like when the artists had the impressionist movement, since
it seemed more about the art than the money. Or the movement was from
the culture like when they imitated the French films. Today the culture
is mostly money is seems.

The last film that seemed like it changed the movies to me was Pulp
Fiction.

I like the line in Bullworth when he asks why the movies were crap and
he attributed to the money.
