American movies: 1967 - 1979.
A time of change in Hollywood. Acting and filmmaking wouldn't be the same again from the late 1960s onwards. A different breed of actor and director appeared on the scene and together would make Hollywood history. Eastwood, Hackman, Nicholson, DeNiro, Hoffman are just a few examples.
