Cool. It is really good. They really knew how to make horror films back then. Not the shit like "Saw" and movies that they make now.

Not just horror films-all types of films in those days were better, IMHO. My personal favorite genre is film noir. I have just gotten a copy of "Notorious" a great Hitchcock film from 1946. OswaldTheOsprey |

I don't watch too many movies, but being a horror buff, I do watch those old ones. But you're right, just about everything was better back then.
I love this time of year because AMC and TCM show all the old horror movies. They're playing "London After Midnight" this weekend. My Tivo is set.

How can there be pages of discussion on the "Best Move Ever Made" and no mention of The Godfather? I'm shocked and appalled!
Sometimes on cable you can catch a channel that is doing a Godfather weekend or something. I could watch those movies a dozen times and not get tired of it. I like the long (5-6 hour) version where they put Godfather I and II in chronological order.
One of my favorite scenes is where Kay is leaving and saying her goodbyes to the kids and Michael comes home. That silence as he shuts the door...
Good good movie.

Never let us do wrong, because our opponents did so. Let us, rather, by doing right, show them what they ought to have done, and establish a rule the dictates of reason and conscience, rather than of the angry passions.

You are absolutely right. Those were superb movies. Therein lies the trouble of limiting it to one movie. There many great movies-The Godfather & The Godfather Part II, The Searchers, Lawrence of Arabia, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, Chinatown, and on & on. OswaldTheOsprey |

I have, my teacher brought it in after we had finished reading the book (completely unedited). It was ok, but the book did a better job of making you understand the Big Brother idea. |

You mean there are edited versions. Well, 1984 does have some scenes with nudity, but our English teacher at the time felt the irony would be too great for her to show us an edited movie about big brother and those who edit history in order to control the way people think. |

I am not sure if you intended for this to be a picture of words saying impawards.com or not, but just letting you know that is all I see from your post. |
