I'm kinda the same... Well if you ever felt curious about discovering the younger days of Cinema, I'm sure we can find more than a dozen that you'll enjoy.

And painting didn't exist until humans figured out how to use carbon, pigments and fingers (among other tools). That's also a technology. It's a tool, without it you can't make any art (film included). But that doesn't insure your art will be good.

I could have easily made an analogy with music. Without an instrument or a voice (but that's also an instrument, a tool) you can't make a song. Will that song be good doesn't depend on what instrument you use, but how you use it. In the same way, whether a film will be good doesn't depend on what technology is used, but how it is used. Get it now. Don't be confused by film's more complex technology. It's still just a tool.

Look, I'm not arguing with you and trace that you can't like what you like. I'm just saying that you can't dismiss older films because they're not technologically advanced anymore compared to today's. Use another argument.

^This "technology" thing actually reminded me of this Big deal of Sfumato during the Renaissance. I wonder if they used to brag about it as much.

^Oil enabled that. I'm sure they bragged about it. It's in human nature to worship everything new.

^But does it make a painting better?
The eternal question ... The mystery of Life and Everything.

^It just makes it different. I would never call it better than tempera painting, for example. They have different strengths.

lets select which movie i should watch now:

dogtown and z-boys
happiness
spirited away
a clockwork orange
blade runner
insomnia
let the right one in

I nominate Blade Runner.

I nominate A Clockwork Orange

Is that a list of ones you've never seen? Or old favourites?

Either way, this.

Perfection.
