Honestly, I have never watched most of the movies in the lists. And I notice something, all except one (”Deathproof” (Quentin Tarantino, 2007)) of them are of last century. What does it mean? Is it because of the advancement of digital effect, so everything including stunt can be done easily using computers? This is kind of… sad?
