Okay, i could go on forever. Sorry to rant a bit, but there are just so, so many great movies. This reminds me of something that happened to me recently. On a quiet Sunday night, i had decided to spend it in the company of old friends the Corleone family. I was just about to sitback and play number one, ready for a few hours of awesomeness, when suddenly a couple of friends rocked round with their partners, wanting to hang out and shit. Anyway, i told them i was doing the Godfather, and was in the mood for it, and i was going to watch it: they were welcome to join me.

By the time we were in Sicily with Appolonia, i was losing it. These assholes obviously weren't into the movie, because by then they were all having fullblown discussions and conversations on everything but the Godfather. What annoyed me the most was not that they didnt like the movie, but that they couldn't admit they just didnt like it. They all claimed to love the Godfather, but it was pretty apparant they had never seen it and just werent interested. Why? Because instead of an effects-driven summer blockbuster of recent years, it was an old movie that relied on great direction, storylines and old fashioned incredible acting.

Nobody wants to admit they dont like the Godfather, because you cant not like the Godfather and still have an opinion worth listening to. Ive noticed the same with Taxi-Driver, Raging Bull and heaps of other classics. Most people just cant get into old movies for that simple fact: their old.

Anyway, i kicked those assholes out and lost myself in numbers 1, 2 and 3.
