And that’s really the whole point of these decade by decade retrospectives we’ve undertaken over the last year or so: To motivate folks to watch movies. This practice, along with read scripts and write pages, are the foundation of any screenwriter’s education. Here are the other decades we’ve covered thus far, over 120 guest posts in total now stored in the GITS archives:

70s Movies
80s Movies
90s Movies

Thanks to everyone who has participated in this effort. You are helping create a resource to guide writers in what movies to watch and analyze, building up their base knowledge as they immerse themselves in the world of cinema.

Next up: The 50s. We’ll get to that a few months down the road.

In meantime… WATCH MOVIES!
