you are moms honeymoon tape is pretty good
>>69767923
I honestly can't understand the appeal of most REALLY old movies. I fully get ones that were made after 1975 or so, but before that I'm totally perplexed. They're dull as fuck, generally
>>69768182
You gotta maintain the patrician image by watching boring movies, bro
>>69767923
Please, watch Vertigo (1958) then come back with your renewed opinion.
>>69768182
most movies whenever are indeed boring, you are slowly learning faggot
>>69768182
when Metropolis was better than most 70's movies is when you realize that it's not old movies that are bad, but just most movies.
>>69768248
>1958
>horrible video
>horrible audio
>probably original for its time but not now
>terrible fucking acting
>weird awkward cuts
I am not saying that there's a magical year where movies started getting better, but movies really really got better by the time
I'm gonna watch Vertigo though

Faggots. Back to the capeshit threads.

Apparently the guy stopped watching everything after he turned 13. He doesnt even watch tv shows.
His favorite movies are The Matrix, Titanic, and Crouching Tiger Hidden meshuggah.

>projecting this hard
No one said anything about capeshit
do u also only listen to music released after 1975?
>>69768461
what abt books, only ever read books post-mr. goodbar
>>69768461
Nope, but most of my favourite bands are from 1990s, 2000s and 2010s
>>69768333
you watching this shit on youtube
>>69768461
Pretty much, though some early 70s music is good too.
>>69768503
There have been books for thousands of years though. It's not a modern art
>>69768509
u dont think there was any good music during the '60s?
>>69768550
yea and people still read homer's odyssey

I love a lot of albums from the late 1960s. Movies are different from music though. Movies rely heavily on technical aspects which get better over time unlike music. Music can be deliberately recorded in lo-fi these days

Soylent Green

What the fuck are you on about?
Tell me a better decade for movies than the 50's and 60's.

>>69768127
My favourite movie 12 Angry Men
>>69768639
i dont think this is true; movies can be deliberately black and white. & im sure there a people who think music relies on technical aspects.
>>69768645
40s
>>69768645
the 70s and 80s but yeah it's been downhill since then
>>69768688
& ever will be
>>69767923
Do you wanna know the secret to this; people only remember the good, that stand the test of time and not the garbage that gets forgotten.
>>69768688
of course no, it has horrible video and audio, bad acting and awkward cuts, star wars 14 is better by far

Old movie's can be amazing, they can also be complete shit.
New movies can be amazing, they can also be complete shit.
Watch anything and everything you can and you'll find the hidden gems.
>>69767923
If you don't watch silent movies from the 1920s you're a complete pleb

I like this one more.
You dumb niggas are posting in a troll thread
I watch movies because of their stories and older movies were more focused on that and were good at it. There are notable exception where visuals are important, like Kubrick movies, and they still have a deeper meaning and they tell a better story than modern crap like capeshit.
Retards like OP belong to the ADD generation where they can't understand this type of things and they end up looking like idiots.
>>69768993
we just like arguing
Why do you pretend new movies are good?

Are you retarded or is English not your first language?
>>69768248
Vertigo is shit.
>>69769201
possibly! but it was the first thing that came to mind to advice to a pleb as an example of pre 70s movie that is interesting and looks modern.
>>69767923
Movies that older than 20 years are garbage.
>>69769411
20 months you wanted to say
>>69767923
OP is right all old films are just rubbish. It doesn't matter if the photography was good. It doesn't matter if the acting was good. It doesn't matter if the story is good. Old films are just shit for being old. I myself only watch movies that are less that 5 years old, and only in 3D. And just like Op Alone. Naked. Gay.
>>69768988
Jesus, Anon. Warn us about jump scares. I thought I was about to be run down.
I do genuinely like some old movies.
Generally nothing past the mid 80's though.
>>69767923
>le philistine
>>69768333
Wow dude. Even for a bait, that is rude.
>>69767923
Because they're "influential" or some shit. Some people just can';t accept that what was good then is outdated now and a lot of the stuff has been revisited and done better in modern times. I except someone to point to hollywood blockbusters(or capeshit specifically) in a pathetic attempt to make a point.
>>69768988
GOAT
>>69768127
Peeping Tom
Seven Samurai
Stalker
Wild Strawberries
These are all great films. If it's the old aesthetic that turns you off then maybe you shouldn't be posting here, just stick to your capeshit threads or fuck off.

The way you said it man. It's that middle ground bullshit like "Muslims can be good or bad"
The Sun in a Net
The first twenty years or so of film are really interesting. They primarily use stage techniques, but you can see glimmers of what movies will become, and can almost see the evolution happen in real time.
I love silent movies. The physicality of the actors is so much more pronounced, and you really see how much someone can say with just their eyes.
>>69767923
Shallow self-absorbed millenials are easy to spot. You just cannot appreciate anything that's not set in your time frame.
I appreciate movies older than I am all the time. That's because I am not ethno-centric and arrogant.
>>69768988
I think it's interesting how most of them don't seem to mind getting filmed or are not even aware of it, all they know are "normal" cameras that only takes one picture
>>69768127
Titanic? The Shawshank Redemption? Lord of the Rings? Pulp Fiction?
>>69767923
Why do you pretend to be an idiot on the internet?
Old movies are good for the most part. It's just the three hour foreign art films that blow.
>>69768333
>probably original for its time but not now
?????????
Just a reminder that Rules of the Game, released in 1939, is better than any film this century.
>>69768961
It's true though you dense mother fucker.

The correct answer is the 30s, stupid plebians.

There is more than one class of person who parades old films as better.
How will your favourite films of today be considered tomorrow?

Why even watch movies that were made before you born

>Why even watch movies that were made before you born
I honestly think there is a lot of truth to this. I think for most people, around the time you were born is the cutoff for movies. Anything before that looks SO dated, feels dated, you don't understand many of the references, etc etc. There are exceptions to this of course, I was born after star wars came out and i still watched it constantly as a kid, but that was only about 10 years difference.
I know there are a lot of you on this board that really enjoy older movies, and i have seen a few i really liked too. I'm just saying for most people, movies made before you were born are hard to related to. It's like jerking off to playboy magazines or something, they were great but we do have online porn now, and it's hard to go back. Maybe that's a bad analogy but you guys get what i mean
