I like the old movies, the new ones are just remakes of the old. Storylines are told over and over again, there are only so many stories and plots.. Todays movies with its CGI and 3D, IMAC etc makes them more interesting visually but look at the story in these new movies, they are not new!
(possible spoiler ahead)
I just saw the new 'Pirates' movie in 3D last night, the story of looking for the 'fountain of youth'. This story had been told in hundreds of movies, as any treasure movie, good guys have the map, bad guys want the map, all end up at the treasure at the same time.

I have to say the old movies were made to stand the test of time. There are some great movies made with very little budgets.

Some of the new ones are very good these days, but I'm afraid this is because of the special effects and technology we have these days.

Most of the newer movies are lacking in plot, and you have to know someone to get a script approved, I don't think you can even put them in the same category.

I saw the Great Escape with Steve McQueen as a kid, and I still watch it whenever it comes on TV.

Oh yes! Most definitely! Mainly because of the people who starred in them. There's something about the old time actors. Acting was more of an art for them. You can tell they put their heart into what they did. It was more than just a job.

I've seen all the John Wayne movies. Love him.

Little Woman the Liz Taylor version

Cleopatra, Liz again

Meet me in St Louis/ Judy Garland love all her movies with Mickey Rooney too.

Ben Hur always one of my favs.

And just so many others. I watch very little TV but when I do, I hit TCM (Turner Classic Movies) first. They show all the old movies.

I can appreciate old movies but to be honest, they scare the crap out of me. It's some weird phobia I have, especially the silent movies with Charlie Chaplin... I've had nightmares about them where my whole dream is black and white and I can't talk in them ... anyway, needless to say I won't be watching them.
