I love movies from the 1930's. I'd also add DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN and THE INVISIBLE MAN to this list.

I saw BUMBLEBEE yesterday. I went in with some high expectations after the amount of positive reviews the film garnered and while it was an enjoyable, at times heartfelt, nostalgic film, by the end of it I was kind of burnt out (either from the movie itself or the TRANSFORMERS franchise as a whole). Not a bad film in any sense and definitely better than probably the last 3 or 4 installments of the franchise, but I could go a few more years without another.
