Meanwhile, The Maltese Falcoln is awesome. Gone With the Wind you can see the appeal of. Treasure of the Sierre Madre, Some Like It Hot, 12 Angry Men, etc.
I dig old movies. I like their sound and aesthetics. The 70s is the PSI era of polygon graphics, give me 8 and 16 bit glory over that (in general, good exceptions listed).
There’s a few I can get into.
Oh yeah - original Night of the Living Dead GOAT late 60s movie.
Even like Charlie Chaplin and the Marx bros hold my interest more as spectacles as well as time capsules.
12 Angry Men is my number one all time.
There are very few, if any, perfect movies. 12 Angry Men is a perfect movie. It has no flaws.
With Dolph and Tia Carrere!
I remember the sleepover where I had my friends watch my copy I’d made after setting up two VCRs.
Now like old Jack says, don’t get it confused with Big Trouble in Little China.
Yep, such a great flawless movie
Alien is the most perfect movie ever made imo.
Gotta love the Russians in Chronicles. I admit it does take the movie about 45 minutes to hit its stride though.
It may have helped that when I would watch it on TBS I’d always jump in the middle somewhere. By the time I watched the beginning I was already in love with the movie.
This is a very different version of Chronicles than I’ve seen. Some serious director’s cut stuff going on.
One of the greatest episodes of Community
Amazing. Able to appreciate at least the historical significance of these movies? Lots of movies that aren’t to my taste, but I see why they made such a big splash when they came out, or why some movies today resonate with people but feel empty for me. Not that they are empty, just they resonate with people for reasons that don’t apply to me.
Mike Nichols is the director for Graduate. His resume of movies is RIDICULOUS. Kept making bangers right up until the end, including the Aaron Sorkin penned Charlie Wilson’s War. One of those directors where it’s worth starting at the first movie and watching his whole catalog.
I had such a crush on her. And Brandon. His performances are limited only by the quality of the scripts. I look at his work here and in The Crow and wonder what he might have done if he’d lived. Maybe he’d get typecast, but maybe too he could have been like Mark Dacascos, who had an excellent movie career before taking his rightful place as the host for Iron Chef. Though he has since then returned to movies, such as with John Wick 3.

Is this on Netflix? Or is it still happening?

Where are you guys getting the movies?
Re-up a Starz trial for No Country. If you sign up for it as an Amazon channel, all of your streaming trials should be reset unless you re-upped very recently.
I guess I’m out of luck since they stopped carrying betamax.
Not even the best Coen Brothers film
