new vs. old movies

after reading through everyones votes for their top ten favorite movies I noticed one thing. ....the list is dominated by newer movies.....with everyone complaining about the boatloads of mindless crap that hollywood is constantly pouring out, is everyone actualy saying that newer movies are better than old movies???? What is your take on all of this???

you can releate more to newer movies

new ones have better effects than the old ones..hate mostly all '80s movies...😘

how old constitutes old? my favorite decades are 70's, 90's, 80's, and 60's. i think older movies had more heart, just didnt have all the technology to turn the vision the makers had into true masterpieces. however, most movies that are considered by most to be the best ever, (godfather, one flew over the cuckoos nest, 2001 space oddessy, ect) were all made in the 70's and 60's. so to answer you're question, i guess i preffer middle aged movies.

the only somewhat new movie in my top 2 is fight club. Pulp fiction is old. Mujaffa...cgis don't make a movie good.
The newest movie i can really consider good is CTHD. Snatch is good.
Newer movies are geting too comercial.
All these sequels, wanted or not emerge. Lotr is good, no doubt there but there are many useless things. *coughBONDcough*
These newer appearances constitute some enjoyment the first few times you see them, without really remembering them as good moveis (matrix)
Zorba the greek (or however it's called) old but very GOLD

I love the visual style in film. I don't mean how good the special effects are, but the use of mise-en-scene and cinematography. Older films just used to shove a camera in the actors' faces without any real meaning behind the shot. With the exception of Hitchcock tho, he was a visual genious!

hitchcock..yeees, brilliant

New Movies I love - Crouching Tiger, The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, The Shawshank Redemption, AOTC and TPM.

Apart from that my favourite movies are "old" ones.

ever saw snatch? doberman?...a good plotted one: rivierres des pourpes (french is not my strong point)

no did not see the red rivers..or what the hell it means...

dunno..as long as they movie is good..

Yea, i wasnt really thinking of really old movies...i guess i was thinking of "middle aged movies".....like the godfather, butch cassidy and the sundance kid, the great escape.....maybe movies released before the 80's....movies like Pulp Fiction would be considered "new"

I was just wondering if peoples tastes had actually changed to where what made a movie "good" had acutally changed.......character development...script writing vs....special effects and action

just something to argue about

oh Butch and Sundance 🙂🙂🙂

STUNNING Movie...

The simple reason most people prefer more recent movies is simply because they are more likely to have seen them.

yeah
