They suck. Like basically any movie made before 1980 is just a total piece of garbage. Why do people insist that these old movies are good? I was reading reviews of The Rise of the Planet of the Apes and all the critics kept talking about how the 1968 version was so good. It sucked. It was terrible. In this thread let's talk about old movies that suck but that people claim are good or better than remakes.

The Longest Yard.
Adam Sandler version was decent.

Oooh! Gone With The Wind! So rough ridin' cheesy! Not to be included in this thread- The Hustler.
-
it's just to make people think about how great it was in the past. have you guys seen midnight in paris? that's what's going on.
-
One time someone told me to watch "In the Heat of the Night." It won the academy award for best picture in 1967. So I watched it. It is the worst movie I've ever seen.

I like butch cassidy and the sundance kid

I agree. My parents have been sitting around watching "Turner Classic Movies" every night for a decade.
They're terrible. No special effects. No color. Plain boring.
Many of them are rated at 4 stars, but you have to count for what I call "star deflation". Where a 4 star movie in the 50's is a 2 star movie today
-
You want a good laugh? Watch The Birds. Unless you're afraid of stuffed birdz.
-
what about movies that the first and second one sucked, example true grit.
-
"Blazing Saddles"
"Animal House"
-
"Blazing Saddles"
"Animal House"
These are both in color, and wildly hilarious. I'd add Caddyshack to that list

I absolutely cannot stand anything with John Wayne in it.
-
Shawshank redemption. What a rough ridin' loserfest.

haha oh man, i remember sixth grade tobias had to be in some play as john wayne. stupid ass teacher couldn't understand why i sounded like a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)-in-training. 15 years later i still haven't seen one of his shitty movies.

When I think of old movie...I think of anything pre-1960. Just my definition though. If that's not the context of this thread then I'll :cheese:
-
Plan 9 From Outer Space holds up as well today as it did when Ed Wood made it in 1959.
-
Godfather :ck:
-
Pre 1980 is what we are considering old for the purposes of this thread. There were some good movies in the 80's. Zero good movies in all the decades prior.

i was suspicious, but it looks like you are correct.

Star Wars was pretty good. I'm sure there are a couple other exceptions. For the most part, I agree that everything pre-1980 sucks.

You lost me at the part where you suggested that new movies are better.

Let me spell it out for you. Movies suck. Pretty much all of them.

This is true

Fox and Hound. I defy any of you heartless bastards to say crap about that movie.
-
i like some old movies.
ten commandments.
marathon man.
sound of music.
the sting.
high plains drifter.
cahill.
but most old movies are so hard to watch. it's probably not worth it to try and make it through 10 bad ones to find a good one.

Lots of weird homo themes in this movie.

How old is old? Going to need some guidelines before I can make an assessment.

I'm going to make my own guidelines and say anything not made in color is old. But I disagree that old movies are garbage.

It depends.
But somewhat true.

The missouri breaks is good.

When I was a kid I liked Old Yeller. I thought the remake Old Snyder was better, though.

And you could say it was ahead of its time at that.

I guess I'll be the first member of #teamretard and say the 70's was the est decade of movies of all time.

I guess I'll be the first to say that Burt Reynolds is the most fantastic movie star of all time.
-
I'm kind of on team old movies suck
-
FYI - All movies now suck.
The only time movies were good was between 1980 and 2000. All they're doing now is re-making movies from the pre-80's era, and turning every stupid rough ridin' comic book made into a movie. This is why all movies now suck, that and everyone in Hollywood is the same person, a person that sucks.
Stop being such a rough ridin' dork, and do something else with your free time.
Also, Comic Books are for tools
-
Some pretty good comic book movies out there. Sin City, Dark Knight, Kick Ass, Sucker Punch, etc. :dunno:
-
A big reason movies suck now is because they're nothing but functions of screen tests with idiots who just finished their Tonight Show Jaywalking interview. If you like new movies, it means that you have a lot in common with those people.
-
I think movies are pretty rough ridin' awesome, now and back then.
-
Love how Chumlee is trying to get all uppity about movies. Got a news flash for you: If you don't like any new movies you are a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) and likely share alot in common with cat ladies.
-
I thought I was responding to people who get uppity about movies. I think movies are entertaining, but find "good movies vs. bad movies" talk absurd.

I'm going to have to disagree.
Anyone that actually has the attention span to sit through one of the "movies" coming out lately has to be a simple minded Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). I would suggest that anyone falling in this category should probably just go get a ceiling fan or mobile. You will save crazy bank in the long run. More money to "treat" your cat with.
-
Yeah, because every movie made now sucks and every movie made back then was awesome. :cyclist:
-
from the times of LHC Bill Snyder family silent cinema to now, there have been good movies and shitty movies. getting bombarbed with shitty movies is just a given nowadays
-
The Longest Yard.
Adam Sandler version was decent.
Burt Reynold's version was terrible. Not funny.
Anyone who thinks the Adam Sandlers' version of anything loses instant credibility with me. That being said old movies are tough to watch sometimes. Gaslight is fantastic though. Anyone like a movie that's older than that?

City Lights, Casablanca, The General & King Kong are all better.
