Digital technologies gained popularity, with nearly one billion people online by the end of the decade. The film industry wondered what the effect on cinema would be. The essays in American Cinema of the 1990's examine the big-budget blockbusters and critically acclaimed independent films that defined the decade. The 1990's' most popular genre, action, channeled anxieties about global threats such as AIDS and foreign terrorist attacks into escapist entertainment movies. Horror films and thrillers were on the rise, but family-friendly pictures and feel-good romances netted big audiences too. Meanwhile, independent films captured hearts, engaged minds, and invaded Hollywood: by decade's end every studio boasted its own "art film" affiliate.Screen decades.Motion picturesUnited StatesHistoryMotion picturesUnited StatesPlots, themes, etcElectronic books.Motion picturesHistory.Motion picturesPlots, themes, etc.791.430973/09049Holmlund Chris879405MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454486403321American cinema of the 1990s2484763UNINA
