It's interesting that people can say they like old movies, but maybe have completely different eras in mind. I like old movies, meaning from the 1930s and 1940s. I mostly like comedies - Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, and directors like Frank Capra and Preston Sturges.
True enough Pete. There are probably some Board members who like to watch "old movies" such as the original Star Wars. Well, as you state, old movies to me are those from the 30s and 40s. Those black and whites were superb. Also, yes, I am critical of today's genre of movies. So, so many are trash and simply vehicles to appeal to a niche audience to generate revenue, not artistry.
I'm reminded of that episode of Two and a Half Men when Charlie is watching Jaws with his nephew Jake who is about 10 years old. Jake is bored. Why? Well, as he says, we're forty minutes into the movie and have not yet seen the shark.
