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. 410 0$aScreen decades. 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xPlots, themes, etc 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPlots, themes, etc. 676 $a791.430973/09049 686 $aAP 44983$qHBZ$2rvk 701 $aHolmlund$b Chris$01500473 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782782503321 996 $aAmerican cinema of the 1990s$93727211 997 $aUNINA
