Shuyin
12.21.11 | its normal, movies nowadays try to be spectacular and fail at it, while old movies are more natural and realistic, i watched the godfather (I) few days ago, awsome. |

BallsToTheWall
12.21.11 | Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, A Streetcar Named Desire, City Lights and Citizen Kane are my first priorities. |

Shuyin
12.21.11 | Balls you really should , those movies are awsome, i also saw The Untouchables, but it wasnt as great as The Godfather imo. as for recent movies the only Good one i saw recently was Changing lanes with Samuel L. jackson, great movie.
MetallicOpeth, yeah theres allways one or two, 5 idk.. |
Cerbyrus

BallsToTheWall
12.21.11 | East vs west booyaka booyaka. I however do not download movies. So I don't think ill get around to watching everything In want to see. I prefer buying them used or new if I really have too at movie stops or other stores with a decent catalog. Amazon as well. |
MO
12.21.11 | It basically revolves around what wolfe said. Movies nowadays are all about bringing in money, that's it. So you get some household names to star in your movie and just make it with a huge budget, CGI the whole works. It's just the biggest example of how business and art should never, ever mix. |

12.21.11 | I was watching Citizen Kane last night but fell asleep. |
Shuyin
12.21.11 | you guys need to see a movie called: Mega shark vs giant octopus (or whatever it is) for epic lulz |

12.21.11 | try to see the trailer to it on ytube, its excelency at its best |
Trebor.
12.21.11 | Another big thing is they made a lot less movies per year back then
Plus no remakes and not as many adaptations
And sequels were basically non existant until The Godfather II |

12.21.11 | i just recently watch Cleopatra with elizabeth taylor
jesus christ he was hot |
Trebor.
12.21.11 | Movie studios back then thought people didn't want to see sequels. That they wouldn't want to see the same shit over and over and would like some new fresh ideas
How wrong they were |

If you haven't seen the whole thing, you're missing out. I'm guessing you haven't seen Apocalypse Now, either. |

12.21.11 | I've seen SND and Brando rules pretty hard.
Pretty much the entire class was gay/hetero for him
I like older movies too but I haven't seen nearly enough of them |
TheNotrap
12.21.11 | Great list.
"I don't know if it's just me but I find that watching old movies from 40,50,60+ years beyond captivates me more than really watching anything from this time."
Different eras, different cinema I guess, but I understand your point.
Some old school actors/movies I love:
Kramer vs. Kramer - Dustin Hoffman performance here is unbelievable.
The Deer Hunter - Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken's performance here is top top level.
The Wild One - Marlon Brando. One of the most iconic movie characters.
The Godfather
Apocalypse Now
Psycho - Norman Bates...Need to say more? |
Recspecs
12.21.11 | Notrap those movies aren't that old school. Balls is referring to the first and second generation of film stars.
Your list was still great nonetheless. |
