So I've pretty much had it with movies recently, and I'm looking to expand my film base. Lately I'll watch any piece of crap that comes On Demand and 9 out of 10 times I end up regretting it. So Loungers, I'm looking to you to suggest some classic movies that I should see. I know that 'classic' is a subjective term, especially given that some one you were around for the first talkies (I kid, I kid). But I'm really looking for movies pre-1970 (again, I know that some of you were already losing your hair by that point but...)
I went through a phase years ago where I got really into those late 60's, early 70's movies (i.e. Bonnie and Clyde, Butch Cassidy, etc) and I didn't really enjoy them. I found them slow and, to be honest, quite boring. I don't mind character development in film, but I need more out of a movie than just that. I've enjoyed every Hitchcock film I've ever seen, especially North by Northwest, The Birds, and Vertigo. I also used to love watching Westerns with my grandfather. Maybe it's just the good times spent watching with him that I remember, but I think I'd enjoy them today as well. I remember watching The Dirty Dozen and thinking it was the most kick-ass thing I'd ever seen. I remember sitting through Citizen Kane years ago wondering 'what's the big deal?' I'm looking for films that hold up. So consider yourself seeing your recommedations for the first time, as a typical ADD-ridden Gen X'er who has the attention span of a mosquito. I'm not saying I need to see blockbuster action movies, but you know what I mean. So Loungers - what are some 'must-see classics' that I need to see? |
