I love classic movies that I have a collection of these in my room. I hope this thread would flourish


My favorite classic movie would be The Godfather series. How about you guys?

I feel like you should pad your OP with a bit more substance. Even though the Godfather trilogy is widely regarded as a classic, why should it be considered as such, or why do you think it is? If everyone just lists their stuff, you'll basically just have a list and I could just go to Imdb for that.

I actually found the Godfather movies to be pretty boring. I know that's controversial and objectively I'm probably wrong but I just can't get through them.

When it comes to classics, I like Network (1976) and think everyone should watch it. Its not only really insightful but also way ahead of its time. Much of what it speculates on actually has come to pass since then, the performances are great and the ideas are also good.

I´m a sucker for the kubricks and pythons films.

Dr. Strangelove anyone?

Paper Moon, Bad News Bears, Absence of Malice, Carrie, Dressed To Kill, GlenGary Glen Ross.

The little girl in Paper Moon was the female player on the Bad News Bears baseball team. Tatum O'Neal.

I find the Godfather movies to be solidly above average, but not great. I don't get why people think the movies are great. The head Godfather guy played Jor-El/Superman's dad in the Superman movie from the 1970s.

If it comes to my fav genre, science fiction, I would label the following as classics:
2001: A space Odyssey (1968). It still has one of the most genius cuts in movie history, it's long and mesmerizing, a work of art and vision, great.

Alien (1979): It was something of a turning point. Before Alien movie directors envisioned space in a somewhat positive manner. Alien is the turning point where space is an asshole and everything that lives there in all likelyhood your enemy and you are the next meal. A fusion of sciFi and horror.

Blade Runner (1982): By far Ridley Scott's best work, aesthetically pleasing to this day and an ATG Soundtrack. Mixes SciFi with philosophical questions, with our advancements in tech the movie gets more relevant with each passing year.

Wait really? 1 and 2 were master pieces IMO. Very gritty, great acting and far more "real" than most of the movies at the time. I mean I can see why you wouldn't be interested in 3 but even my wife loved 1 and 2 when I made her watch them and they are not her type of movie. I'm surprised. I like all the moving pieces and how the events shape the characters.
Z2C won, but lacked creativity.

Put it this way, the only other film I have tried to watch more than once and failed is Batman V Superman haha.

Maybe its just me, but something about those Godfather movies just grates on me and I can't watch them.

Maybe I saw too many gangster movies as a youngster - all of which were influenced by the GF - and they just made me bored of watching gangster movies.
