Here’s when I started getting used to seeing films not exactly made for kiddies, and at what you could say was a cultural turning point. Note the absence of Speed Racer and The Incredible Hulk, plus the presence of Meet Dave. And how this list, this decade, ends with Planet 51 instead of Sherlock Holmes.
