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

Either way, this.

Perfection.

when your reasons for not wanting to are fucking stupid why shouldn't she call you out? this is a public forum, don't post if you don't want the things you say criticized.

and there have not been any major technological advancements in film since the 60s anyway. nothing that has affected the quality of the image anyway--except digital video, which is shittier. i don't see where you are informed to talk about the "low-quality-ness" of older films (the 60s isn't even that fucking old) given you admittedly haven't watched many.

passable. it had some spellbinding moments and also much of the opposite. glad i saw it, but it is far from a favorite.

If you found that film good, you can't say "it's not bad for a 60s film", but you can say, that you don't usually find this genre of films appealing, and was surprised by that one.

I find movies from the 60s to be of a lower quality. That's just my opinion. People also like to write-off pop punk and nu metal as a genre of music being of a lower quality, and on some of those I disagree. I don't care if I'm less refined for not liking old films, whatever, it's my opinion. I didn't directly try to offend somebody by quoting them or anything, I just stated my opinion...

If it's a least favorite genre, then why can't you say it's boring if you find it boring? I mean who cares? I find a lot of jazz boring, despite it's cultural significance...

What, that they're boring? How can you possible argue that?

Haha maybe you don't find CGI to be an improvement but I challenge you to watch Congo and then Jurassic Park back-to-back and tell me they shouldn't have employed a little more CGI in the former...

~~bungalow~~ · 08-06-2010, 01:21 AM

what do you mean by low-quality? as in the film artists of the 1960s created work that was of a lower artistic quality? or are you talking about the actual recording of the image...like the image is of a lower quality?
