No black and white films should have been made after 1939.
Owen Murphy
technicolor was super-expensive, bro

>It wasn't "does anybody actually watch this stuff this old?" it was "do you guys ONLY watch these old movies?".
This is what my June looked like if you're curious, but no I do not ONLY watch old movies. I've seen plenty of newer stuff too. I've just been going through my watchlist chronologically recently

Jayden Jackson
Really liked this silent movie some really haunting imagery. But It had like modern music, what was that about is the old music lost? Anyway the more modern music fit the movie.
Grayson Mitchell
Yes, many different directors, including the ones he inspired.
Jaxson Lewis
>”The title and the names of the stars--James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart--make it sound like a lot more fun than it is. They play underprivileged kids who grow up together, come back from the First World War, and get into the rackets. The movie has a very mechanical and moralistic view of character; nobody ever says or does anything that surprises you. If you fed the earlier gangster movies into a machine and made a prototype, you'd come up with this picture.” -Pauline Kael
Jose Stewart
such as? i just haven't really been blown away by anyone else i've seen in comparison
Robert Moore
It was too expensive. If you like old colored films you should watch Red Shoes, here's a link to watch it in 4k they posted in the last thread.

Daniel Perez
Does anyone remember that website that tells you how Jewish a movie is? Can someone type in the web address and see how Jewish Tombstone is please.
Jacob Edwards
Most of the films from that time are bad
Nicholas Williams
For me it's alcoholic Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
>Who's afraid of Vigina Woolf (1966)
Colton Russell
I didn't even read this but Kael is extremely retarded.
Dreyer, Lang, Tarkovsky, Ophuls as already mentioned, Greenaway, P&P, Ozu, Mizoguchi, Ford, Antonioni, Yoshida, Murnau, Sternberg, Minneli etc. I could go on. Sirk basically made stupid melodramas for 1950s housewives with some nice cinematography here and there and extremely tacky cliched images with his excuse being dude it's subversive and he's actually poking fun and subverting this melodramatic ideas for housewives. But was he really? Most people take the films seriously.
Nathan James
Speaking of Ophuls, I watched pic related in a film studies class I took in grad school. Amazing movie and really heart breaking.
Angel Davis
Would take a miracle to find the negative of this film.
