I think of 70s as ochre, red, yellow... desert/fire type bleakness like Dirty Harry. 80s is more darks... blue, gray, black. Terminator, robocop etc

yeah i think the aesthetic was set in motion in the 70s but really coalesced in the 80s

List of movies in which the urban environment was a character would likely be revealing. Nakatomi space type analysis but for all movies.

yeah - could assemble a great list like that for NYC. There's a doc about LA as represented in movies en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angel (but LA-set movies are so self-referential its hard to generalize to other cities)

Idea, large spreadsheet with iconic world cities in columns, years in rows, each cell coded by a color representing aesthetic of color-space average of movies in it. Heat map basically.
