Online viewing, 5/2.

As we slip into the weekend, let's start with a few light but quite nicely done montages, a few minutes each, from barringer82: Films of the 70s, 80s and 90s. These come by way of Steve Bryant, who praises the synchronization with the soundtrack, and I'd add that not only are they well-executed, they're also well-conceived. These are popular films, not a best-of canonization, and barringer82's done a fine job of striking the tone of each decade.
