    Films are made to make money. That's why so very many of them suck. It has nothing to do with propaganda.

    Well, at least it isn't the Anunnaki.

    Does anyone else here ever wonder why we named ourselves homo sapiens sapiens? I think there are two too many sapiens in there.

    I love cinema! I often skip doing many things I would do in my twenties, just to watch an old movie now! So, if you wish, feel free to love or hate a movie here, by writing what you think of them as you watch them! I mostly watch older movies, since I'm not going to pay my money for the crap Hollywood puts out anymore. But, if you love movies, it would be interseting to me what you think of any film you've seen. Whether it be silent, subtitled, classic or recent, please throw up your opinion here about the last film you've watched so I can make a note of it, and hopefully find it to view! Thank you


    Anything funded by Fox or big oil or big finance is generally of excellent quality and totally unbiased and such.

    The silent versions of Ben Hur and The Thief of Bagdad are awesome!

    Check out silent movies by Buster Keaton, (The Cameraman, The General, Young Sherlock for starters)  Harold Lloyd (Speedy, Why Worry and Safety Last for starters) and Lon Chaney Sr (The Unkown, Laugh Clown Laugh and Phantom of the Opera)

    One of my favourites is "As Good as it Gets" (Jack Nicholson as Melvin - an obsessive-compulsive novelist who takes pride in his ability to offend, repulse and wound...)

    Really funny, excellent writing, and all the characters hit their personal career highs while acting in this movie. Fred Gwynne was AMAZING. Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei also fantastic. This movie is full of memorable sound bites and verbal exchanges. It's one of my all time favorites.

    Impact(1949)

    Just finished watching this very good film. Brian Donlevy and Ella Raines were excellent as usual. Those two actors are very little spoken of, but they seem to be reliably excellent actors every time I see them. It's the old story of a wife wanting her husband dead for the insurance(with "Double Indemnity"(1944) being the the most famous example of this type of film. Though, "Impact" is not 'film noir' like "Double Indemnity" was).

      When I look at those old films, black&white, silent ones, music back ground, I get caught up with the hair dos the furniture back then, and see how far we have come. I hated the sight of those old heat radiators back then, they would sometimes make noises like the house is haunted!

       Anyways movies are mostly intended to stimulate and entertain your personal preference of such, and we can see it varys a great deal! I like bloody gory,or to be scared when I see a movie, and the best movie for that was the first movie black and white version of "The Thing" with James Arnest, I think he played the thing?

       I usually laugh through the whole movie, especially when the zombies are eating some ones entrails, it looks like a string of winners!Laughing  So you can readily see the high quality and standard I set for movies I will go to see! lolo But one thing I hate the most, they keep using the same old actors even when they grow old and ugly to play all the roles, I like to see more new faces and natural talent, of the common man or woman on the street!     Like Trysts Embarassed

    I've seen Howard Hawks' "The Thing", several times just because it's such good film making. Hawks always seems to make everything so natural. He somehow makes his actors seem like they have been where ever the film takes place, for a lot longer than the viewer has been there. The characters are not geniuses, and they are not dumb. The viewer is thrown into that world effortlessly. From "His Girl Friday" to "Rio Bravo", Hawks films are a pleasure to watch.

    The first mentions of old movies reminded me how much I enjoy the Thin Man movies. But, that reminded me of an almost limitless list of old movies I enjoy. For example, any time "12 Angry Men" is on, I'll watch or "The Quiet Man."

    I'll also watch anything made in the 50s featuring giant insects.

    Not a super old movie but I've always been fond of "Paint Your Wagon" with Lee Marvin. It's just such a fun movie.


    Clint Eastwood in a musical? I've avoided it, 'cause it just makes no sense to meLaughing

    I haven't seen "The Quiet Man", but, "Twelve Angry Men(1958) was very good!

    De nada.  Thanks for the thread!  :)

    Death and the Maiden (1994) - Everybody knows Rosemary's Baby, but this little gem from Roman Polanski uses only 3 actors, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, and Stuart Wilson, who is strong enough to keep up with Sigourney and Ben.  Want suspense?  Don't need a $50M Hollywood budget to get it.


    Agreed. A very tense film.

    A movie I have thoroughly enjoyed is, "Gone With The Wind", a movie that was made in 1939. It was a very entertaining movie, a movie I think was the best that Hollywood ever produced, especially some of the special effects for that era of time.

    Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) - William Holden again and Sir Alec Guinness.

    Just...superb.


    It's probably just me, but I never understood that film. Why was Alec Guinness so against sabatoge? It seemed like it was more important to him to remain "British", than to fight against oppression?

    Sorry, that was the Great Escape.

    The original Thomas Crown Affair? McQueen and Dunaway make Brosnan and Russo look like actors in a community playhouse in the remake.

    Yeah, I said it!


    Never saw either version, but I like Faye Dunaway!
