Why don't they make movies like this anymore?

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2011)

Absolutely one of the best movies of all time!!! The storyline, the adaptation, the directing and acting ensemble was just magnificent! I have seen this movie MANY times and NEVER get bored of it! Not many movies move your emotions like the Green Mile as well! I could not understand in 2000 how it did not win or get nominated for more awards!! Hanks wasn't even nominated for an Oscar? Probably because 3 wins in-a-row would be unheard of! It's crazy how Stephen King, the master of horror novels has had many great screen adaptations, but his 2 best were prison based flicks, Shawshank Redemption and the Green Mile .. with the same Director I might add! How come they just don't make these great movies anymore? The 1990's was a great decade for movies! Silence of the Lambs, Braveheart, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Titanic, Jurassic Park, Shindler's List, all in my top 10 of all time! The past decade has been "crap" in comparison! Again, The Green Mile ... a great movie!
