I have Wuthering Heights (1939), Dr. Strangelove and The Killing of a Sacred Deer queued up for this afternoon.
How is your quarantine going Yas Forumsbros?
He left too soon.
79 films watched in 1 month of lockdown here.
Killing of a Sacred Deer is a worthless film imo, a complete waste of time
What’s the source for these, I can read Tarkovsky reviewing movies all day.
Did the Soviets kill him?
I love movies and occasionally go to 'best of' lists to identify movies that I haven't seen before. Inevitably, there are a handful of old movies like Citizen Kane or Rashomon that top these lists. This is especially true when the list is created by a film critic.
Having watched both of these movies, I was thoroughly underwhelmed. It's not that these were bad movies. They just don't wow me the way a great modern movie can. The acting is often exaggerated and unnatural (reminds me of plays). And the visuals are of course sub-par, given the lack of modern film technology. The stories/plot are usually good but then again I can find slightly above average modern films with better plots.
I don't think you can reasonably argue that the Model T was one of the best cars of the past 100 years. Just because it was first doesn't make it one of the best.
I suspect critics often list these old movies as the best, so that they can come off as cultured & refined. Perhaps film critics of 2200 A.D. will be giving Transformers much more credit than we do today.
already seen but those are the only two ive seen
