Ever since the first was made
The clicking film and simple set
Astonished eyes to new artform
A moment we will not forget
What wonders that were offered us
Stirring emotions deep inside
A star was born never to fall
Buoyed by this fabulous ride
Every decade the frame advanced
Sophisticated and daring too
Villains and lovers deep in embrace
Touched subjects we once thought taboo
The golden age of cinema
When studios reigned supreme
Usurped by grit of seventies nerve
Taking the gild off that gleam
A new generation raised by the greats
Redefined what the critics claimed good
Audacious, fearless and cocky too
Pushed boundaries far as they could
The films of today cannot be described
In terms that are simple and plain
Some say it’s better some say it’s worse
What matters, are you entertained?
They make us laugh and cry at once
Tutor or interpret loosely
Transports us through space and time
Enthralling most profusely
So persuasive and significant
In awe of what we’re seeing
Together give in and gladly devour
The world that they dream into being…
