Films like Casablanca will die with our mums and dads.the majority of the old classics are to be admired rather than enjoyed.do a poll of the best 100 films of all time in 30 years all the oldies will be nowhere to be seen.sad but true.
love the movies but citizen Kane best film of all time! Yeah ok!
its a twilight generation how many young teen girls would entertain gone with the wind for 3 hours I don't think so.
the dialogue in older films is laughable with women characters portrayed as weak clinging to their men for dear life , no swearing or the cartoon violence we are used to nowadays.
take a film like guess who's coming to dinner it's just laughable nowadays ,important at the time but now it's just daft.
I've read some rubbish by members of this website and what you just said is most certainly up there with the worst.
A classic film is a classic film regardless of when it was made. Old films like DR strangelove, Built, Psycho, Some like it hot (One of the funniest films ever made), Modern times (funny Charlie Chaplin film), Vertigo, Lawrence of Arabia, Mary Poppins, Fantasia and Rebel without a cause are some of my all time favourite films and I was born in 84. Cartoon violence was stared in the 1940's as before your feature film was shown you would see a cartoon like Tom and Jerry. They could not make cartoons today like they did back in the 40's & 50's as people would say it is much to violent. Also Gone with the wind is a rubbish film not because it is old but because it is a boring romantic film.
