"Lost Horizon" is one of the greatest movies of all time, despite its ancient, black and white status. If you've read or heard of the book, you'll know what I mean. It tells the tale of Robert Conway (not the professional wrestler) and a plane-full of passengers who crash in the Tibetan mountains and stumble across a society of people living in a hidden valley called Shangri'la. In the valley is a wonderful secret that man has been looking for since the dawn of time.
It's a truly amazing film with an incredible and emotional story. The acting is superb, the dialogue is second-to-none, and some scenes of the movie put nearly all of the recent Hollywood blockbusters to shame.
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
I don't think old movies are inherently better than new ones. Especially horror movies, minus the Hitchcock masterpieces. :P
That's not to say that old movies are bad, but they have their problems. Like acting. -_- The great actors of the past don't sound natural at all. Unless people actually sounded like that in the 40's. I dunno.
I'm with forgottenmemory on this one. Except for Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast, because I saw them at the theatre when they were new (I guess that makes them pretty recent when compared to movies like Jungle Book and Peter Pan?).
I also like The Wizard of Oz. Even though that one lion has always scared the crap out of me.
Doesn't get much better than the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Some of the things that go on in that movie are far scarrier than any current Horror Show.
Rebecca is still one of my fave movies.
The Thing From Another Planet, Alfie ( 1966 version ), A Clockwork Orange and The Exorcist. I dunno how far back you'll call old, but the 80's action movies when Arnie was at his peak is cinema at its best.
The Shining wasnt done by Hitchcock, and is better than todays crap. And any of Hitchcocks work.Originally Posted by roto13-ness
All of Alford Hitchcock's movies.
Man, some of the ones you people are mentioning are not OLD movies.
Ummm, Dr. Strangelove is a favorite. Breakfast at Tiffany's, Casablanca, The Sound of Music, Roman Holiday, North by Northwest. There are lots of great old movies. Lots of sucky ones too. But it's always good to broaden one's cinematic horizens and look past just the movies that came out recent years.
The Ten Commandments. Clash of the Titans. Masada. Those last two are old enough to be considered old in my book.
