Indeed there's a difference.

doesn't matter the age to me
a god movie is a good movie.

2012
watched earlier 
nice affects but thats all.
god i am so fed up with hollywood telling us we need to save the planet .

I don't dislike older movies, I just don't like them.  There's a small subtlety there, but it is still there.

Hardly a small subtlety. Don't dislike and don't like are complete opposites of each other.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Children grow up fast.  From what I recall, Harry Potter was the least cute child in the first film, and it's the same in this one.  That's the end of that.  The film itself had a lot happening, I hate knowing what happens to Snape in the film that came out last year () because he could've been my favourite character (I used to have the same hair as him ).  I want a root baby! (Mandrake? Mandriva?)

Spoiler (hover to show)

Heh, Voldemort

It's fun when you recognise the actors from other programs (the Spanish Infanta <3 <3), although it can spoil the realism.  But this is a film about magic people, and they've obviously changed their faces to appear more like their idols.  It was nice that Shelob made an appearance, I've often wondered what became of her.

I should probably mention I don't care about fantasy films any more, magic isn't real and I'll never be a wizard... not even a bad one

If I manage to get it, I may watch the third film tonight - I miss being hip with the kids.

and have seen one episode of the 1957-59 Series
Which featured 'Robby the Robot' 

 

Is he as urbane as William Powell? LOL.. I didn't even know it exited. And it's weird kismet you mentioned it. I was just relating Forbidden Planet to a real life experience just this morning.

[feelingindifferent]

Speaking of urbane.. have you ever seen any of the Thin Man movies?

Nope, not yet After exams; I'm weaning myself off watching movies for the time being.

No, you're not. Some people haven't seen it and never will. Some members here have expressed there dislike for "old" movies. 

With my sister, anything older than 2000 she says "Ew." immediately

a god movie is a good movie.

That's my philosophy

^ But, that comment did strike me surprised. You like classic humor, and you seem to like classsic story lines.. so, I'd think you'd like older movies.

[dweez]

I should, I know it's odd.  There are some great classics out there I haven't even seen.  Maybe I'll rectify that someday.

[xtopave]

There are also some classics that are way overrated.

I'd go post them in the sexy gir's thread.. but I keep getting distracted at work.. with work

Like Citizen Kane (1941) and other Welles stuff
+ nearly all of Woody Allen's stuff

Ducks + Runs for Cover

My husband keeps saying that he still wants that 1.5 hour when I inflicted The Purple Rose of Cairo on him. I don't think it was that bad but 7.6 on IMDb!! People see the word Woody Allen and immediately rate higher than they would if they didn't know who directed the film.

[feelingindifferent]

Like Citizen Kane (1941)

Citizen Kane may be absolutely technically brilliant, but it bored me to tears. I'd rather have Fritz Lang any day for technological brilliance on film. Though I gotta admit, I totally loved Orson Welles' monologue in The Third Man.

^True.. Citizen Kane is fun to make inside jokes about.. and some of the effects are awesome..but it drags for me too. The Third Man beats it hands down.. no contest.

No kidding,, I like off the wall things,, but Woody Allen did something possibly perverted to get into movies.
 Another person thats over rated is Angelina Jolie.
A mediocre actress( at best) getting by on her boobs.
