Default Re: becoming a filmie

Pryor:

Good topic and something I need to think about more before coming up with a list of go-to classics that are easy to digest and highlights movie making at its finest.

This really is a real topic in my life, as I constantly encounter people who consider Braveheart the pinacle of movie-making.

Like I said, I need to reflect and think about how to proceed, but I know Casablanca would be right up there.

One thing I know is the "learning curve" gets steep once you get into the territory of foreign, "artsy", subtitled movies from more than 20 years ago, so I would rather subject the novice viewer to a modern subtitled movie that is pretty straight forward and easy to understand.

Likewise I'd choose carefully among American classics in order to ease the viewer into watching black and white films.
