Do you watch old, award winning movies?!


Question: And wonder why the heck people thought they were so great?


Answers: And wonder why the heck people thought they were so great?

Sometimes. But most are definitely worthy. You also need to keep in mind that certain techniques or styles may have been used for the first time in a movie in 1941 for example.

They were blown away by Citizen Kane! You may or may not be today, but think about when Toy Story came out for us? Or the Matrix, Jurassic Park, or Terminator 2 (styling examples). What about when Jaws changed the face of "horror" flicks with an underwater camera angle and scary music?


Honestly though, I think a vast majority of movies that come out today are straight crap. At least movies back in the day seemed to discriminate a little bit about what they were putting out to the big screen. Most horror flicks today are lame. I'd take any Hitchcock movie for terror or suspense over 95% of anything I could get from the past 20 years on Blockbuster's shelves. I was clawing my leg watching Vertigo, made in 1958, I watched it in 2001 - and they don't call him the master of suspense for nothing!!!

Some older movies are just made better, with better acting and pure class. Don't discount something just because it's old - I'd take All About Eve over Georgia Rule any day!

No, but sometimes I see recent films that have won awards and wonder why people think they are good films.

no, i pretty much watch any movie... even tv movies

no,,,it s impossible in france !!!
jamais jamais jamais !!! il ne faut pas !!!

I guess you had to be around in the old days to understand how,I feel the same way about recent films some are not worthy of an award.

yes, or read the book and wonder why a character is a spoiled rotton brat and "needs to be spanked with a hairbrush". Like Scarlett O'Hara for instance from Gone With the Wind.

sometimes i do i love a old movie the silent one,s with charlie chaplin they were great!/

I watch them all the time; I wonder why people think most modern films are so great.

SOMETIMES.
