I would be ok with you saying 30s to 80s but I can’t see leaving out “Casablanca”, “It’s a wonderful life”, and a number of other great films, music, even scientific accomplishments of the early 20th century.
I’d even go so far as to say earlier than the 30s given the industrial revolution. Lord knows our literature hasn’t improved.
One can't help but wonder if great nations giving up a strong national identity leads to their downfall.
I don’t want literature.
I want stories that are fun to read.
For me that really took off with the detective novels of the period between the World Wars and began to fade in the mid eighties when politics began to bulldoze its way into every genre.
#19. Re “Casablanca”, “It’s a Wonderful Life” or “Meet me in St. Louis”, the Left will try to destroy the themes of patriotism, redemption/friendships, and family/friends and fun.
Just wait till they go after “The Wizard of Oz”. Let’s try that on for size.
The “Wizard” will be known as “The man with a Height Challenging Condition”.
The Munchkins will be known as “Little People in funny outfits by Versace”.
Dorothy will be the “promiscuous young girl who takes off on a long trip with three strange men”.
The “Cowardly Lion” will be known as the “Faggy Feline”.
The “Scarecrow” will be known as “The Plant Materials Man”.
The “Tin Woodsman” will be known as the “Destroyer of Forests”.
Glinda, “The Good Witch” will be known as the “Evil Corruptor of Young Women”.
The “Wicked Which of the West” will be known as “Maxine Waters, the Witch of the World”.
And “OZ” will be known as the “Jeffrey Epstein Democrat Party Rest Home and Brothel”
Just can’t wait to see that movie.
I would include the 90s. lots of wonderful things in the 90s
