Anybody here see a movie that wasnt made in the last 15 years?

[Mr Hezikiah]

Just wondering.

[davido]

yes I see them all the time on TCM

[Mr Hezikiah]

Seems to me that all the movies people post about here are pieces of shit that made 100 million plus in the last few years. LoTR is gay, dont try to convince me otherwise. Saw, Saw 2, Hostel? Give me a fucking break. Matrix et al are not bearable without cron, and Chronicles of Narnia is for british fucking posers. I cant even remeber the last time i was looking forward to a film.

[temp100]

Yeah, it seems like no-one ever talks about old movies here.

[Just Spurplin]

Mr Hezikiah, you did not like Saving Private Ryan, an AMAZING film, so no matter how much you bash current movies and think you have much better taste for doing so, you will likely never get movie respect from me. Just thought id say...

[BaxterII]

The Warriors.

[silverspade14]

One flew over the cuckoos nest , Bridge over the River Kwai , those are just 2 of my favorites.

[doorknobopener]

Mr Hezikiah what movies do you like?

[Joey Orion]

i like the '60's japanese films

[Mr Hezikiah]

I don't think i said i didnt like saving private ryan, merely that i fell asleep during it. I dont think i have better taste then anyone here just a different one. This translates into me bashing a lot of films that seem to get a lot of attention on this board. Tripe like the Matrix, LoTR and crappy horror flicks that for some reason people go out and see. Don't even get me started on these comic book adaptations. As for getting your movie respect, I could care less...

As for dooknobopner's query, I like anything Kubrick has done, my favourite being Barry Lyndon, which i doubt any of these matrix fanboys could even sit through, lack of eye candy and all. Quick list of some of my favourites : Blade Runner, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Manchurian Candidate (B&W) The Wild Bunch, Come and See (Russian) Apocalypse Now etc. But all I really watch these days is Arrested Development on DVD. Best t.v. show ever.

[MiKe]

I love older movies, especially horror flicks. They can't seem to make a good horror movie these days.

-I'm just gonna stop here, because I could go on for hours naming movies that I've seen that weren't made in the last 15 years.

[davido]

Most all James Cagney flms
most any John Wayne from the 1950's to the early 1970's
anyone seen It's a mad mad mad world. tons of bigtime Hollywood actors
I saw a good Burt Lancaster film the other day, Birdman of alcatraz
I like the old stuff I watch Turner Classic Movies alot, AMC turned to shit
several years ago, now they think its cool to play the Godfather every night for a month,and other stupid crap they can think of they are about as bad as TBS or WGN.

[Baneofevil3]

Well, actually, 15 years ago is only 1991...

But I've seen and loved a lot of classics.

12 Angry Men, The Great Escape, Sunset Blvd., Seven Samurai, The Graduate, Midnight Cowboy, Vertigo, Apocolypse Now, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Lawrence of Arabia, Psycho, North by Northwest, Rear Window, The Sting, Casablanca, The Godfather (Parts I and II), and those were all made before the '80s.

[Citronic27]

Of course! Die Hard rules.

DIE HARD!! W0000t!

[Spike Lee]

[digidoh]

I love 80`s films, Back to the future, early Schwarzenegger films, early Jackie Chan films, Purple rain, Rain man, Platoon, Planes trains.., Uncle Buck, Full Metal Jacket.....the list can go on.

Wow, was Full Metal Jacket 80s? And I'll add One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

[Murderoctica]

[xstayxtruex]

the good, the bad, the ugly. i win
dam you stole mine....eraserhead is such a kick ass movie

[anonymous04]

I love old, old movies...like one of my favorites is Freaks. It was made in the 1930's.

[Bunny-Fu]

I mostly love horror movies from 1930-1960 and 1970-1980. There you go.

[revan685]

3 words...

Shawshank MFing Redemption.

I don't really like the acting of the guy in the lead role. I'm not sure, but it seemed like he took the whole 'sensitive prisoner in a hard jail' too far. Freeman made that movie great for me.

It's not to the 15 year mark yet, but it doesn't have to be. Definately in the top 5 of all time.

[MercifulMolina]

You are kidding right. LoTR is so badass.Saw and saw 2 r awsome. OMFG YOU JUST GOT PWNED!


^ ^ ^
I love shawshank redemption, and btw the lead guy is Tim Robbins, I dont know but i thought he was good

[Squibbles]

lord of the flies
to kill a mokingbird

[ftbllplr]

Chariots of Fire, The Meaning of Life, The Life of Brian, Quest for the Holy Grail, exc.

[FonsecaWalls]

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllll no

[Its Not A Tumaa]

All I do is watch old movies. And Independants. Hollywood these days sucks ass. It's all about the rappers as leading characters.

[Liberator13]

The Birds.

Full Metal Jacket.

Thats it. lol

Joking, but I don't want to list them all

[wallpapertools]

and crappy horror flicks that for some reason people go out and see.

who cares if they are crappy or all the same, people see horror movies because they are exciting to watch at the time. I dont give a shit if its going to be a classic or whatever, if its fun to watch ill watch it. Not every movie needs to be super amazing and original and nothing ever like it before. Movies are supposed to be fun to watch, and thats what alot of them are.

[Mako2007]

Scarface is all i think of at the moment

[plasmasd]

The Great Train Robbery 1903.

[Face Plant]

The 70's is considered the best movie decade because the 'Hays Act' or 'the film production code' ended in the late 60's which censored just about everything. So in the 70's you had an explosion of films depicting sex, violence and political ideas that were taboo when the Hays Act was in place.

[RikRikRikRIk]

Fav. ''old'''generation Actors..
Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland, Telly Savalas,Anthony Quinn,Morgan Freeman.. and many more...

Anyone else fav.actors?

[Baneofevil3]

Dustin Hoffman is my favorite actor by far, between both old and new actors.

As for older actors, I like James Stewart, Cary Grant, John Belushi, Jon Voight, Harrison Ford, Marlon Brando, Richard Dreyfuss, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck, Anne Bancroft, Peter Sellers, and Clint Eastwood.

[david_slupper]

Today's movies are shit.

I usually watch classics by Stanley Kubrick, Terry Gilliam, and other good directors.

[WoodersonD&C]

I prefer most older films to new ones.

Risky Business, Rain man, Ferris Bueller, Weird Science. All great films, better than some of the films out today in the same genre.
