 Film History of the 1920s
Films varied from sexy melodramas and biblical epics by Cecil B. DeMille, to westerns (such as Cruze's The Covered Wagon (1923)), horror films, gangster/crime films, war films, the first feature documentary or non-fictional narrative film (Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North (1922)), romances, mysteries, and comedies (from the silent comic masters Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd).
Film theaters and studios were not initially affected in this decade by the Crash in late 1929.
But by 1933, after years of victimizing exploitation, she had gone into serious decline and retired due to hard-drinking, exhaustion, gambling, emotional problems, a poor choice of roles, the revelation of a heavy working-class Brooklyn accent in the talkies, and a burgeoning weight problem.

Film music is no different, with the majority of literary sources focusing on the 1970s and before, with little concentration on the present.
Film music, over the last twenty years, has taken many forms and gone in many directions that were not thought possible.
For many, the "birth" of contemporary film music occurred in 1977 with a movie called "Star Wars." John Williams, the composer, took the traditional symphonic style, and applied it to a science fiction epic film.

 25 Years of Film Sound: Making Movies in the Digital Era
Large-format film sound in 1977-79 had finally reached a level of technical fidelity that had been the longed-for dream of the earlier Eras.
If you listen to the films of the early '70s, you can often hear the sound straining against the technical limitations of the time.
