I rewatch the old stuff because a lot of it seems to be much more meaningful.
It is. Today's pop culture is the most vapid, meaningless sh!te ever.
@Carson Ogenic ''sledgehammer,'' a show suggestion for Dave....
@@mr.roberto1898 I love that show! I even have it on DVD!!
The Hollywood of old, could be just as crooked and corrupt as the Hollywood of today.
Watch The Rageaholics "Hollywood Was Always Red" rant.
Or, you find an audio called, "Myron C. Fagan Red Stars Over Hollywood."
You've never heard of him. I've only found out a couple of weeks ago.
The older, classic movies had more "humanity" and wholesomeness to them. FAR BETTER acting quality back then, too.
Get off my lawn you kids!
@@ptolemyauletesxii8642 THESE PRETZELS ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY !!!!!
Pink Flamingos is not wholesome
@@totallybored5526 how about "120 days in Sodom"?
This poor guy can't even say the title of Casablanca correctly so it's embarrassing to watch. Cringe TH-cam at its finest!
What I appreciate in pre-1960s movies are the good manners, well-spoken English, and general courtesy people extend to each other, which was a reflection of how generally people treated each other back then.
That's hardly true for very film from before 1960, is it?
@@seanolaocha940 no, but most of them.
@@Viracocha88 I'd debate that to be honest. Besides, Hollywood movies were subject to very severe censorship at that time and so the behaviours depicted on screen can't automatically be taken as evidence of real life.
Exactly. Old film was a glamorous fantasy. As ridiculous as thinking westerns were really how the old west was. They are entertaining for sure but you shouldn't mistake them for history or fact. They are highly filtered
@@FencingMessiah And yet a million times better than the junk they churn out today...
I started watching Little House On The Prairie. Simple and lovely. Also recently saw It’s a Wonderful Life for the first time, and I can’t imagine anyone currently alive today making such a wonderful movie.
Megyn Kelly had Karen Grassle (Ma) on her show the other day. It's a fascinating episode. Like you, I loved the series. It was my happy place. And Walton's Mountain.
Well, who would they be making it for???
The public get the films they deserve.
I also checked out Little House for the first time recently. But I've already lost a little respect for Karen Grassle because now that she has a book to sell, suddenly she has a lot to mud to sling about working with Michael Landon on Little House. He can't defend himself, he's been dead for 30 years.
Be real, white people are dying so all they have is the past.
@@williampearson6299 If you say so, Willy
I spent three weeks prepping my college rhetoric class with discussions of propaganda and showing them Bezmenov before showing them _Blazing Saddles_ and not one person laughed. Not one. I’m in Texas. Conservative area-with some students. They were disgusted and said the movie should be banned. They thought Brooks was the racist. The whole thing killed a part of my soul. I thought some, just some, of these young adults had brains. The future is f*ed.
One of the funniest films ever (aside from shit ending)
I would have been with you before, but if you look at all the anti-white stuff just now and which demographic is behind it and who owns Hollywood I've changed my mind. It's just the beginning of the agenda which we see in force now, by the same people that can't be criticized.
@@hunkyhaggis2161 still found it funny. Old movies are best even if Hollywood has always had the same owners with whatever politics of the era suited them. Maybe it's just fun when one doesn't notice (or think about it much), not really seen anything new that's funny in years
@@eyezj7412 Yeah fair enough. It's just that they've gone into 5th gear with the anti-European stuff recently.
I never really cared for Blazing Saddles but thats more because I find Mel Brooks jewish humor extremely lazy and repetitive. I don't like any of his other movies either, especially Space Balls which is Wayans brother tier in quality.
I'm going through Clark Gable's filmography and notice how much braver, smarter, stronger, and more authentic women were back then. They held their own against the men while not acting like one. Yes PLEASE review films from this era and highlight how much better the writing was!
I watched “The Tall Men,” “Call of the Wild” and “San Francisco.” Wonderful films!
I concur
You will find that many of the actresses from that era had a real life and achieved things outside acting.
You can sense that they are real people and not some fake bit of plastic trying to pretend to be something they are not.
Clark Gable served in WW2 and even Hitler had his eyes set on him and wanted him captured. You can sense that they were a different generation.
One of the best example to compare is Connery to Craig.
It Happened One Night one of my favorite Gable movies. I mean Clarke Gable and Claudette Colbert what's not to like?
Ava Gardner was so beautiful! They all were. Hedy Lamarr, Lana Turner, Vivian Leigh. Some serious Actresses who weren't afraid to be Women.
The filming of Casablanca is a story in itself. Every day the characters would learn their lines and by the next morning every scene had been re-written it was chaos, but every actor was a seasoned professional and re-adjusted . Amazingly one can watch this movie again and again and every scene is perfection. The black and white film used adds to the mood of the story.
In the past, they made films to make you feel good.
Today, they make films to make you feel guilty.
The Majestic shows that Jim Carrey, even as weird as he is today politically, can play a serious role well. Very interesting indeed.
Also, old movies are creative.
Today's movies are constant reboots and sequels.
Another serious role he was good in was in a film worth watching called Man on the Moon. It's about the life of the comedian Andy Kaufman.
Though apparently Carrey was an complete arsehole on set.
They play it too safe nowadays, so they cannot make anything of lasting value.
Let's not generalize. There was bad movies back then too and there are still good ones today.
Too bad he's too busy playing "Dr Eggman" (more like poorman Riddler/Ace Ventura) in those insipid Sonic movies nowadays....
@@shadowandroid1823 Yes we should generalize. Generally speaking there used to be a higher ratio of good films as opposed to poor films compared to more recent years, and the situation is cumulatively getting worse as time goes on.
Sometimes it's necessary to generalize in order to get an accurate overall picture of something.
I recently started watching Stargate SG-1, it blows me away how something like this was made yeara ago and how much we have regressed in morals and story telling in hollywood. I've been sticking with older shows and foreign ones too to avoid the modern hollywood politcal overload.
SG-1 is on my Plex and it's currently on my rotation. Definitely a great series!
I highly recommend Farscape too, it has two of the leads from the later SG-1 series.
SG1 is great. Love Farscape too. Classics
Lol I thought I was in a minority, as I rarely watch new films and shows of any genre. Reading all these comments is quite enlightening!
I watched SG-1 early this year. One of the most satisfying series I have ever watched. Fun, intelligent, colorful, amazing acting and incredible stories. Probably one of the last great SCI-FI shows.
When I was in the 5th Grade during the late 80's, I started reading the original Hardy Boys books. I became an avid reader after that and when I was done with the original books, I started reading the newer Hardy Boys series of books. They were still wholesome books that young boys should read. I went on so many adventures with those boys in the books. Books nowadays aren't so wholesome, just like modern TV shows and movies. Most new books are so woke that I can't even enjoy them, just like TV and movies.
I did the same thing at that age 10 years later in the 90's best books ever after Young Indiana Jones for me.
1930-1960 the years that has so much cinema treasures, I watched tons of movies from then when I felt incredibly low and the world seemed so hopeless, they lifted me up
I'm in that phase now.. It's really soothing to watch these movies
My parents weren’t impressed with what was on offer on public television when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, and so I was raised on black-and-white films, musicals and TV shows like Gilligan’s Island and the Andy Griffith show. It would be fantastic to see you tackle older classics!
Interesting. I was raised on 1980's _Sesame Street_ and _The Electric Company._
My mother wouldn't let us watch _Gilligan's Island_ or _The Love Boat_ because she said they were too stupid!
I was too. By 1990 my mom and dad gave up on network television in our house. “Family hour” was fading away fast by then. Growing up in the 80s and early 90s, it was mostly old movies and tv shows on VHS, TBS, TNT, Nick at Nite and TCM.
My wife, not even from this country, loves Andy Griffith show and Barney Fife.
Some of those old western TV shows are pretty good actually. I found myself really enjoying shows like The Rifleman, Daniel Boone, Bonanza etc. Not only entertaining but also legitimately wholesome
@@Christianos_Theophile I have been seeing the hour long color episodes of gunsmoke since I was a child here and there. And they are OK. Pretty good actually.
However in recent years I’ve bought the DVDs of the first through fifth seasons that are black and white and only 30 minutes long and they are actually much better to me. They tend to be a little more gritty and realistic and not dragged out with dramatic fill-in and modern social messages. They are also filmed outdoors and not on sound stages.
What many younger generations wouldn't realise based on modern programs depicting the 80s, that being our TV programs comprising only 80s made content, a great deal of our entertainment was actually movies and TV shows before then.
I still remember being in highschool in the mid 90s talking with my friends the funny stuff from the Monkeys and Get Smart we saw in the afternoon the day before. In my country we only had four channels, five if you had a TV with good enough reception. And not everyone had pay TV. Re runs from 60s and 70s sitcoms and sci-fi shows were the standard. And it was great.
I watched Dr. Zhivago for the first time recently. It really brought home how a life of comfort and normality can swiftly disappear into a world of totalitarianism and poverty by claiming it's "for the greater good".
With excellent cinematography and acting I now understand why it's considered a classic, and regard it as a must see if only to understand how the world as you know it can so easily be turned upside down.
As in Eugene Ionesco's _The Rhinoceros._
David Lean gave cinema clinics everytime he released A film. So many filmmakers worship him
Working my way through "Dick Van Dyke" show right now. My family and I will implement the "F" word for regressives (fundamentalism). There will be NO apology/ justification. I love the self respect they show in how they dress and act during this era. We'll be applying some of it to our lives to be the change we want to see in the world.
That show was so well-written by Carl Reiner. I watch it every Sunday night on MeTv.
"The Best Years of Our Lives" - simply one of the most heartfelt films ever made.
There's a VERY big reason why I've been collecting physical media for decades. I saw the writing on the wall.
Yes! Now they are censoring sections of old shows or even taking them off of their menus altogether!
They are about to censor old shows by editing them.
@@bighands69 They reissued the original Star Trek series in a "remastered" format where they went back and added special effects and colors and such. One particular episode of note was The Doomsday Machine, an ancient planet killer. Inside this machine, a large cone of sorts were hypnotic black and white lights. The new version gave you lots of color and it looked more like a volcano. In the original version Decker was watching the hypnotic black and white lights and it was terrifying. The new version just didn't have the same feel at all. I guess both versions of the show will remain available, but who knows. And they released different versions of the original Star Wars movies too but I haven't watched any of them. I was never a big fan of Star Wars because it is so childish.
@@jaxflfreebird
There are other tv shows that they have released new versions of that have changed the shows taking out some of the charm of the original show.
My issue is not just one of making technical changes but actually taking out dialog and adding new dialog into the show.
When I was young I got to watch old films and tv shows that enabled to be see the art of that era future generations may not get that opportunity.
@@bighands69 they edited Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit because her depiction was passing off the Metoo feminists. Gone with the Wind was edited after BLM protests, and Song of the South removed from Disney forever. What a shame we can't watch old movies in the context of its time period.
Dave, as someone who has never really watched many films at the rope old age of 51, I have recently felt the need to start. I think like many of us now try to capture our old normalities watching old films helps divert our eyes, minds and hearts from today, unfortunately. You are someone I look to and respect and would love nothing more than sub to a channel where you review older films or series. Bring it on my brother and thanks for all you do. Love and light to you and yours!
I also started to watch old movies. It's like rediscovering cinema all over again, I love it.
I can't tell you how thankful I am that you made this video. My gf and I have been saying this exact type of thing for years now. We recently rewatched Cheers and I was struck by how much they managed to show the main characters as losers and degenerates without ever coming off as cynical. There's a cynicism and menacing quality to today's shows and movies that I find remarkably upsetting.
I find your comments about sci fi in particular to be spot on. We recently watched several episodes of Black Mirror with a friend of ours and I came to the conclusion that it's a show that serves as essentially suffering pornography. You're never meant to sympathize with any of the characters, only to revel in their suffering and the suffering they inflict on others.
Overall though I find the quality of tv and movies to have fallen to shocking lows in recent years. Basic storytelling seems to have been thrown out the window in favor of merely trying desperately to trigger emotional reactions in the audience. Whether through blatant nostalgia porn or by bombarding us with intense imagery and music as if to evoke some kind of Pavlovian response. I would love a longer form video on this type of thing to be honest, but videos about classic media would certainly peak my interest as well.
very well put. I agree on many of your points
As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, I've found myself revisiting old movies and shows I loved back then no matter how cheesy they are. I recently started to binge the classic Knight Rider series. As for sci-fi, I loved the show Farscape. I think it's a pretty underrated show.
Yeah! Farscape is brilliant! So is the Battlestar Galactica from 2004.
@@hunkyhaggis2161 Both great shows.
I must have re-watched Farscape at least a dozen times by now lol. Yotz!
Babylon 5, Star Trek pre 2009. As for a bit older fare, The Day The Earth Stood Stil, Forbidden Planet and Invaders From Mars just to name a few.
@@hunkyhaggis2161 Have to disagree with you on the 2004 Battlestar... I prefer the original series myself. To each their own.
I've been saying this for about 10 years. The decay and decline of Hollywood has been ever so present.
Since 2000 you really have to dig to find anything worth watching and it's only gotten worse.
I've been addicted to the old movies since high school. There's so much quality out there... 80+ years worth of quality.
It's a great idea to start a series on old movies and old TV shows because as you say... That's where it's at.
Even the old cheesy movies from the 80s had better stories and acting than what they make today.
Once in a great while, I'll come across an "after Y2K" movie that is fairly good. "Witch" (2015). for instance, which was far more interesting than the "critic's delight" movie, "Inheritance" (2020), which grew more and more boring, so that I almost turned it off.
@@chrislogan33 All depends on the movie. The 90s was when they started with the 120lb chicks easily beating up 250lb guys and pushing the "don't need no man" feminist narrative.
@@thystaff742 The' '90s gets a free pass from too many people. Lots of stuff that influenced even worse stuff came out of it. "Friends" made men cater their comedy toward women (cutesy humor), and we're stuck with essentially a bunch of Steve Guttenberg 2.0's; think Paul Rudd and everyone not even as good as Paul Rudd or Steve Guttenberg that have come since. "The Matrix" and "Pulp Fiction" had so many copy cats, and it's gotten progressively worse.
It's funny because I don't know of a single person who ever had a problem with Sigourney Weaver in Alien/Aliens, or Linda Hamilton in The Terminator I & II, yet Hollywood made it WAY too obvious with their messaging SINCE those movies were made; even The Terminator II is already trending with the messaging; but not exactly with her character at that point in time.
Even George Romero movies - specifically his zombie movies - had a black hero, and a strong woman in the leads (not counting the woman in Night of the Living Dead). I never had any issue with that, and he was doing his own brand of messaging, but he still did it the right way. He's not slapping the viewer across the face, and dropping on anvil on the viewer's head, just to make a point that should have little to do with the story.
Not everything needs to reflect on how we're all terrible people, who constantly have to question ourselves. There is a thing called ESCAPISM, and they once did a MUCH better job of that in Hollywood.
@@emmapeel38 Exactly! By mid 90s they made men the /butt/ of all the jokes, while continuously praising the female character. The show Everybody Loves Raymond is example of this. What people don't realize is this effects your subconscious and will effect how you view things. That explains why most western women only view men as a means to an end and not as human beings. You see this is why they call it TV programming, cause if you're not aware, then it's programming you on how to think and feel.
A couple years ago I got on a Sherlock Holmes kick when I found those old Basil Rathbone movies. I watched every one multiple times and began finding all kinds of tv shows and movies. The Granada series with Jeremy Brett is my all time favorite and probably closest to the original stories. Every time I think I've seen all the Sherlock Holmes stuff there is I stumble across something I've never seen.
I saw Alien recently. I’ve grown so accustomed to poor film making that I had to watch Alien in two halves as it was so intense. The director’s cut is the best.
Because of how bad Hollywood has been, I too been watching old films. Good or bad, doesn’t matter. I miss the times when films were good and not used for forced political messages
The Third Man for the astounding cinematography. Great acting and story to match, featuring Orson Welles
Old stuff is where it's at for sure.
This is where I’m at now. The older stories are fuller, characters have arcs, and no one is trying to preach to you. The writers wanted to write good stories with great plots, twists, arcs and climaxes etc. I’m reading through Robert McKees ‘story’ and ‘character’ (godfather in screenwriting) and he proves that most modern movies are lazy writing when it comes to story/character and, I quote: “writers write badly generally for one of two reasons: either they’re blinded by an idea they feel compelled to prove or driven by an emotion they must express” - aka propaganda, which feels like most of modern movies/tv shows. He says that it is because they do not have respect for the audience, instead disdain. So yeah, go back to the classics!
There's plenty of preaching and propaganda from all eras my friend.
I bristle when new productions have lines or loud speaker announcements to keep the obtuse viewers aware of the plot and why someone is doing what they are doing so people understand what’s up. TV cop shows are the worst at that but it’s all over movies as well.
@@seanolaocha940 yeah lol they think the cold era was totally free of propaganda lol
They only count propaganda that they don't agree with. If they agree with it all the preaching is a ok
For the first time in a long, long time, I found some relaxation and simple enjoyment watching a bunch of the old shows on the Pluto TV app. Family Ties, Happy Days, and LoveBoat, not highbrow intellectual in the least, but TV back when America didn't hate itself and society wasn't an Orwellian, dystopian nightmare.
You hit the nail on the head, David.
I've been doing the same for several years now: cloistering myself off behind a cultural firewall of mostly 80s and 90s (the time I grew up) cartoons (Transformers, GI Joe, Darkwing Duck, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Spider-Man TAS, X-Men TAS, Batman TAS, etc.), live action (Magnum PI, Knight Rider, A-Team, Star Trek (everything up to and including ENT), Battlestar Galactica, etc.), anime (mostly untouched by our cultural marxism, so it's pretty much all up for grabs but my choices are Cowboy Bebop (not live action, of course), Outlaw Star, Trigun, Big O, Hellsing, Full Metal Panic, Full Metal Alchemist, Neon Genesis Evangelion, etc.).
As I have done this more and more over the years, I've recognized that my Grandpa did the same thing as he lived alone his last 2 and a half decades, and he would mostly just watch re-airings of old shows when they were on (this was several years ago so no cable or internet for him!) and when they weren't on he'd listen to the radio, take a nap, work around the house, etc.
I say this as a cautionary tale, though. Grandpa had a hard life, but he carved out a nice niche for himself and even after my Grandma died, he still lived in his own home, did his own laundry, cooked his own meals, etc. HOWEVER, cloistering himself behind the comfort of a palatable firewall, did isolate him from the world and his skills and stories became less and less relevant.
I enjoyed hanging out with him, right up to the end, and I see myself going the same way already ... it's comforting now with all the cultural rot around, but I'm in my 40s and working -- plugged in to the world by necessity. When i get to his age, and retire, I can see it being pretty isolating, and since I'm not married and I don't have kids, I won't have a grandson to talk to and teach like he did.
That said, i still try to keep my finger on the pulse of what's going on: politically I'm very aware, and culturally I keep my eye out for new, deserving content that isn't laden with SJW swill and add them to my 80s/90s rotation: like Burn Notice, Mandolorian, and the Netflix Marvel series (specifically Daredevil and Punisher).
Just wanted to put that tip or caution out there for you and our brothers (and maybe a few sisters) that have also become disaffected and disowned by this BS society, so we don't get completely bowled over later in life ... like a Forward Scout, if you will.
Keep up the grind, brother, love what you do!
Glad I ran in to a kindred spirit out here in the Cursed Earth.
God Bless! :)
Me too keep replaying old favourites
I got so stressed out over a year ago anger crying kept talking about all this shit
I’m in my sixties and so I rewatch the Golden Age of Hollywood movies that my mom and I watched on tv in the 1960s-80s. I don’t know much media after that. I watch films from all over the world, Japanese, Italian, Indian and of course British and US. You could watch five a day and never run out, pretty much. There’s very little truth to be had, seen, or read these days but Truth used to be the goal of artists of all kinds. But since the dawn of the Sexual Revolution our culture has been telling itself lies, and they don’t hold up very well. I’m surprised by how many people who will admit to being irreligious or atheist are incapable of appreciating the novel form and by extension, films, unless they’re full of the same nonsense they try to apply all over the culture to “improve it.” Those that think man is perfectible will be dissatisfied with man as a hero in any concept whatsoever. (By “man” of course I mean humans.)
There’s so much to explore in this realm. Much to learn as well.
[I do follow you on Bitchute but I’m always forgetting my password so I don’t comment.]
Your words spoke to me as I am a 40 something year old disaffected from SJW culture, globalism and society rot. Know that you have fellow brothers out there friend.
Same for me as well. Except I’ve added Gundam to the mix. I cancelled Netflix when cuties released. It was the last straw. So many sjw programs and constantly canceling good series after 1-3 seasons. HBOMax is ridiculously sjw and Amazon is somewhat pandering too. There’s definitely a lot of social engineering going on with media and advertising. Luckily I’m able to point out the game they’re playing to my kids who recognize it as well. The people doing all this are playing the long game. Infect the kids and they’ll grow up and spread the infection and they’ll pass it on to their kids. The only way to make change is to teach kids how to think on their own and make their own decisions. Not just blindly absorb information from “adults” and call it a day. Thinking they now know enough to be autonomous adults themselves.
Please do! I would love to see more optimistic and positive content
If I can't see that with present day releases, then having it in old gems I might've missed or just hearing someone's thoughts on classics would be a nice change of pace
As an older comic book nerd, Hollywood attacked me as a fan so thoroughly & for so long, it has similarities to spending the last 5 or 6 yrs in an abusive relationship.
All I can watch is older stuff because I truly miss traditional heroism, heroes & heroines; paragons of virtue. I don’t want to sympathize with the bad guy; I want to be inspired by the good guys. All of that is too hard to find now so back to the past.
I was in my thirties when I saw Casablanca for the first time and didn't think I'd like it. I figured I'd be rolling my eyes every time one of the famous lines got uttered. But, lo and behold, I gave the movie a chance and I loved it. The lines all worked .Humphrey Bogart was a terrific actor; I liked how understated he was most of the time. It made it so that when he did show emotion, it mattered that much more.
Just finished watching the 1959 Hound of the Baskervilles with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. It was a fantastic movie! The cast was all around great. The story, while not a new one or having much surprise to it, was really well executed.
There was no fancy computer graphics just practically effects but they were done in such a way that I didn't want any modern effects.
I had great time watching it and it made want to watch more like it.
There is nothing that can replace good actors playing well-written characters.
Such a Shame there wasn't a full set of Holmes movies with Cushing in the main role he was perfect in that movie.
@@watariovids1645 I think Cushing made an excellent Holmes! I wish Hammer productions had made tye Sherlock Holmes series they were planning on doing.
@@shogunofharlem8240 It's amazing what can be done with a good script and a good cast of actors. You can make the blank set of play with a few props seem like anywhere or anytime. Yet CGI makes the lack of script and general acting talent that much more apparent.
Thanks for the recommendation! I've been listening to the audiobook and watched the Jeremy Brett version, but now I want to watch the Christopher Lee film too. It's such a spooky droll Gothic mystery, one of my favorite detective stories.
I do this too. I’ve started to build a physical media library. I’m moving toward only buying used as well.
I’m tired of giving money to people who hate anything that isn’t them. I’m about done going to movies or renting new movies. There are so many old films out there I haven’t seen, even though I’m a movie buff. I’ve watched 5-600+ movies a year for 42 years. I’m looking for obscure gems myself.
Look into foreign films. I watched some old French and English movies before they got woke. Great stuff. Theres a couple of goodSouth Korean movies movies too. Subtitles might hamper the experience but I got used to it.
I've been buying loads of old films on dvd over the last year - there are a couple of charity shops near to me which sell dvd's, books and cd's for 10p each and it's amazing what they have sometimes - as you put it, 'obscure gems'. I walked out of one of them today with a bag full of old films, Dicken's novels etc. for a few quid. Sometimes it feels like I'm stealing them because they're so cheap. Sounds like you've got the right idea, though! Better get those 'controversial' films (and books) before they get banned as well! I've been buying up loads of Enid Blyton books for my daughter to read before they become unavailable.
This. Me too
A few years ago, for movie night with my children we gave up modern stuff and started watching what they call "Daddy's classics", which are selections of films roughly between the 1940s to the 1990s. I've been pleasantly surprised with how well it has gone. They have really loved a lot of these old movies. They got really into Rear Window, Charade, and the Maltese Falcon, as much as they got into the Fugitive and Jurassic Park (the first one, obviously :), and they will still quote me lines from these films.
I really enjoy watching classic movies and TV shows! I find that they are so full of depth and they rely more so on great storytelling to keep the audience engaged rather than special effects or other shortcuts! 😀
I stopped watching this video at about 45 seconds in because the movie sounds very interesting and I wanted to avoid "spoilers". thank you for pointing this one out :-) keep up the great work
Majestic is not a very good movie. Like all of Carey's movies, it is poorly acted and directed.
@@CB-vt3mx but but at 10 or so years old I felt like "The Mask" was a masterpiece!? ;-)
I love Jim Careys over the topness in Ace Ventura, The Mask, Cable Guy and Dumb and Dumber. They are all classic movies. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind which is one of Jim's serious films IS a masterpiece and is beautifully written, directed and acted.
The Majestic is wonderful - hope you enjoy it! :)
@ anferny Same. I began reading your comment as the ads played before the video started. I watched about the first 50 seconds of this video, gave it a like for Dave, and now I'll go and see if I can order the movie online. After I watch the film without spoilers I'll come back to finish watching this video.
I strongly recommend Babylon 5. It's a 90's era scifi who's writing is unparalleled. You really need to watch the entire series twice to fully appreciate the writing and subtle foreshadowing. The CGI is decent for the era as the acting gets better as the story progresses. It would be nice to see you review it s well.
Was gutted when I heard that they're remaking B5. The original was near perfect.
Most of the graphics were done by the Amazing Amiga (like the show, the computer that was ahead of its time). The video toaster.
Best show ever!
It's also a very relevant show to watch in today's world. I've been watching the AI upscaled versions over the past few months.
Yes, a truly great show & very relevant to todays political climate.
I would like you to review old films from the 1920s and onward. There are hundreds of classic films. A few examples are "Metropolis", "Breakfast at Tiffanys" , "The Birds" , "A Lady Vanishes", "The Magician's Apprentice", "The Planet of the Apes".
Hi Dave, that sounds like a dam good idea. I find myself also watching old movies and series longing for the far long days when movies and series were engaging and thought provoking. Not to mention when MEN were MEN and WOMEN were WOMEN not ashamed to be what nature intended them to be. Hollywood has almost destroyed all I grew up loving Star Wars, Star Trek, Terminator, Predator, Charmed, Dr Who, Masters Of The Universe, James Bond and soon the utter weaponizing and destruction of Indian Jones
This is exactly me. I'm over 50 and very rarely watch anything made after early 2000's. I've been buying up a lot of Blu-ray & DVD movies/TV since we are now seeing the dangers of censorship hit our old favorites on streaming platforms. You can't be sure the digital copy you just bought won't be censored now or in the future. I used to be a huge Star Trek fan but after watching the first season of Disco and Picard, I was so utterly disgusted, that was it. I love Classic, TNG, & DS9. Especially DS9, probably the height of Trek story telling. One thing I'm very sad about is the far left slide of all the old Trek actors. Makes it hard to watch TNG when I know those people are now nutters. I know it's an act as they certainly didn't believe this crap back then. Just goes to show how terrified people in Hollyweird are that they have to pretend being woke so they can get work.
True that! Funny how Hollyweird has whined my whole life about the McCarthy Blacklist, only to reinvent it with the Woke Naughty List, and beat their fellows down with it.
I'm turning 40 next year and feel the same way. Many of the 2000s shows and movies that were made for me...weren't made for me.
@@MrFlintlock7 They only whine about it because they're commies. Oh wait, no, "socialists" who want the U.S. to be like Venezuela.
@@MrFlintlock7 Point is a lot of 'em didn't start far left, but Hollywood is a closed ecosystem and it's easy to pressure needy people (that being most actors) into adopting whatever is the "safe" belief.
And McCarthy was not only right, he barely scratched the surface.
Thanks for the heads up ,I shall now do the same ie get meself a blue ray player and the DVDs cheers mate.
I suggest "Smokey and the Bandit," THE cultural touchstone for young men in the late '70s. This movie came in 2nd in 1977 box office draw -- behind Star Wars and ahead of Close Encounters. It has minimal plot (it's a car chase) and reputedly two pages of script (the rest of the dialogue being adlibbed). What it has is a car that every teenage boy wanted, chemistry and loads of FUN. Will it hold up in modern day culture? You tell me.
Dave should definitely review ''close encounters'' or ''jaws''(1),2 early Spielberg blockbusters.
I'm sorry but this example is not germane to this video. ( *The god damn Germans got nothin' to do with it!* )
@@sanchoodell6789 you’re too good a man. Look over your left shoulder.
@@ab5olut3zero95 ooof
Just take a moment to reflect on 1977. Jaws. Close encounters. Smokey and the bandit. The sex pistols. Imagine being alive then. No cellphones, no Meta. You could own a 6-litre muscle car and actually drive it. Men and women liked each other and had casual sex without going to prison for it.
I love old movies. Some of my favourites... The Hustler, Harvey, 12 Angry Men
I really like, "The Majestic". Jim Carrey's, "Yes Man" has a wholesome story arch as well.
Dear God please make wholesome reviews. I need that kind of thing.
I often find myself watching old 80s/90s commercials to get back that wholesome feeling that is lacking today
I have seen so many ads today that you cannot figure out what they are advertising. They are so cryptic and nonsensical that they cannot actually help with selling products.
I desperately miss the optimistic attitude of the 1980s
I am the same exact way my friend. All the old films and television series are great and are able to keep me content. If you watch movies from the 1930s-2000's, that's 70 years worth of film you can enjoy to yourself, and often time I re-watch all of my beloved favorites anyways, so I'm never bord. I'll watch a modern movie once in a while but in the end, I just feel like I waisted my time because it isn't rich and I don't get that same joy that I do with past generational films and TV.
This isn't really true. There were plenty of worthless movies and films from the old era Hollywood they just didn't stand the test of time. The one that are shown on TV or are restored for sale are highly curated. They don't give a perfect representation of how good entertainment was back then. Although I agree that writing talent and plot were more important back then
I love Casa Blanca. My late aunt always loved and watched these old movies. Good memories of watching them with her, especially White Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life during the holidays. ❤
Casablanca was great - watched that recently with my family. It's not just film enthusiasts, I've noticed a lot of people re-watching old TV shows and movies from as recently as the 1990s.
Oh God, Imagine a woke remake of that movie today...RIP
I typically avoid the old classics because they seem overacted, like the actors think they're on a theater stage instead of in front of a camera. Still, I need to give Casablanca a try.
@@simonhadley8829 Just a heads up.
When I first saw it. Casablanca was.... Just okay at best.
It wasn't anything all that grand or spectacular and just a tad bit overhyped by so many critics.
I'm not calling it awful.
I just think it's not something I would religiously watch over and over for the rest of my life.
And keep in mind. This is coming from a guy who rarely ever takes part in New upcoming stuff.
And mainly just sticks to what's old and nostalgic (Even sometime spends most of his time wondering around antique stores).
Also. All of you are gonna hate me for saying this.
But I personally hated The Godfather Part 1 and 2.
@@rudy1999 Be real, white people are dying so all they have is the past. You use the word woke as a form of denial. Plenty of woke movies and series that are good like HBO's Watchmen and Arcane. It just doesn't prioritize you or worship white culture. Laughable in my opinion.
@@williampearson6299 Who gives a crap, enjoy your woke shit.
Thought it was just me. Also sticking to mostly pre 2010 these days. Very difficult to watch modern american TV. I hope some day this madness will end
As bleak as social media may paint it now, I do have faith in the future. Why? Because the less-than-mediocre content cannot last indefinitely. It is based on falsehoods, built on pillars of sand, seeks impossible utopias, and does not appeal to a majority of people. It does not resonate with audiences so it cannot sustain itself indefinitely. Jonathan Pageau described it as a virus invading a host but he continues by saying eventually, the virus must die off and the host will heal. And he concludes that just as many mythological stories end with a good and benevolent king who restores prosperity to the kingdom, our entertainment can (and will) return to those satisfactory stories.
@Great White Well if you ever find a way to get back to those days, let me know so I can come along
Me too thought I was the only one!! I check the year a series or movie was made won’t watch anything post 2015 just woke brainwashing nonsense.
@@Rosefire I wish I could feel your optimism. Sadly, the people making todays "entertainment" are corporations or people with that kind of money and do not care if they make money or appeal to the masses... to them it is a vehicle for messaging. I think it will be a very long time before the pendulum swings back.
It will end. When this world does.
Dave, I am wholeheartedly with you in watching the old stuff. My wife and I have been doing that for the last few years. Please do review the old stuff. I'm hoping you'll come across a good one I haven't seen. Thank you!
My family, in order to find something of quality to watch, has turned to watching old Westerners. Had a great time watching "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" with my wife and 13 year old son. Such a great movie.
Great movie. Check out "The Westerner" with Gary Cooper.
@Mr. Smith, Excellent movie. like most of Ford's stuff.
@@snv648 Other great Gary cooper films: ''pride of the yankees,'' and ''sergeant York.''
Also ''Mr. Smith goes to Washington,'' and ''young Mr. Lincoln,'' both from 1939.
TV westerns of the late 1950s and 1960s are great as well.
I would love older movie reviews and commentary. I’ve discovered how much I like 1930s-1950s cinema in recent years.
Me and my partner always watch the old entertainment now, its much more positive and inspiring. Older movies and TV show reviews would be good to see.
I convinced my kids to watch Casablanca by telling them it was the movie where Looney Toons got half of their lines. They enjoyed the movie very much! Thanks for this video. I rarely watch anything from the century anymore myself. As for your new series. I would be fine with reviewing classic wholesome movies and TV shows, but I would also include any classic TV and Film that are good.
I haven't watched TV since about 2014, mainly because the content was increasingly predictable and full of agendas. The golden age of TV and cinema (pre-2000, mostly) is the only content I tend to look at now, thanks to the internet (I no longer own a TV). As for doing a series on such content, definitely, as it's a wide open source waiting to be re-discovered by those who may have forgotten how good content was in the 'good old days', and discovered by those who weren't around to enjoy it the first time.
Nice. Can you remember what programs and what agendas were being pushed back then?
Spot on. I miss those days when we weren't having "progressive" social policy shoved down our throats constantly.
Cut the cable even longer ago than that. It seems like a series worth watching only crops up every other year or 3.
Can generally get away with movies until 2010ish. But 2015+ seems like a lost cause if it's entertainment you seek.
There's some good stuff in the early 2000s, too. After maybe 2006 or so, the number of good movies and TV series drops off pretty dramatically.
I'm watching the old (1990s) syndicated TV series Babylon 5 once again. The five year story arc takes the viewer on a mind blowing journey of right vs wrong, strength vs weakness, mortal spirituality vs the eternal, and hope vs despair. There's more than that and for fans of life's meaning Babylon 5 has absolutely no rival in today's Netflyx and Holliwood driven drivel.
B5 is my favorite sci-fi show. It's so amazing to watch an episode where see how things were connected in seasons past.
I am very concerned for the HBO reboot. JMS has hinted it will reflect more of today's issues....woke!
Just finally began Babylon 5 myself. Yes, it far outshines the rubbish we've been getting these days.
I have *B5* on DVD, and this reminds me I need to start REWATCHING IT.
I like the Daffy Duck poster.
@@kidcurry3962 Yes, B5 had a sense of humor too!
I don't watch things anymore to get titillated. I watch things to relearn lessons, reminisce good memories and meet old friends.
That's why rewatching old movies for me never gets old.
In the past 10 years, I have been to a theater probably three times. Theaters are so expensive, that a movie needs to be special to motivate me to pay those prices, and we just do not get such movies now. Disney did a series of live remakes of animated movies (and someday, who knows, maybe the will do animated remakes of the live remakes). So many movies are also driven by agenda.
Last night, I watched a clip of the ending of Disney's classic "The Black Hole" with the ending that seems to reference Dante's Divine Comedy (back when Disney was still worth watching). I reflected on how we just do not get such depth or quality today.
Francis Schaeffer demonstrated how a culture's art is a reflection of its mindset (presuppositions, values, philosophy, etc). I then wonder, what do we say of a culture whose art has grown stagnant? Where is such a culture headed?
Even Bruce Almighty felt like a classic when I watched it the other day. I've always loved old movies from before my day. More recently I've also started reading old newspapers and magazines to take my mind of the last few years of madness.
Back in the day, I remember that everyone in the theater loved every minute of Bruce Almighty
That's because woke became international mainstream under Obama administration.
90s & Early 2000s were great. By the time it reached 2010-15. You can see woke appearing in pop-culture far more.
Lately most of the tv shows I watch are reruns of classic shows on networks that primarily show classic shows, MeTV, Antenna, & Decades.
A lot of those old comedy sitcoms still old up and are still really funny. I find them way more entertaining than modern tv shows. They hold up because of the strength of the writing and the talent of the actors. Also, there primary focus was to just be funny.
My wife and i basically only watch older movies and shows now. Basically anything pre 09. Anything that makes you say "they cant make this today." Becaus they won't. Because they are hopeful, because they are powerful, sometimes irreverent to what is currently verboten. We are currently finishing our second rewatch of all of tng ds9 and voyager, just watched blazing saddles and tonight were gonna watch the princess bride. It makes for a happier viewing experience i have noticed.
There's some excellent, mostly forgotten sci-fi films from around the late 90's. Dark City, Strange Days and The Thirteenth Floor are all really cool films. Some are a bit "Matrixy" though but it isn't a bad thing by any means.
Agree with you though Dave, I do tend to find myself looking back now for new things to watch. Everything new seems to have either subtle, obvious or straight up in your face cringe political/identity propaganda woven into it now. There are a few exceptions, however.
Dark City came out a year before the Matrix ;)
Dark City was a very, very good film.
The Thirteenth Floor! Such a good one. It kinda lost out to The Matrix I think.
DARK CITY is so "Matrix-y" that they used some of its sets for THE MATRIX, specifically Trinity's rooftop leap at the beginning. I must have been one of about 314 people people who saw DARK CITY at the cinema in 1998...
@@alexanderwells8951 It was beautifully dark. ;)
Definitely, yes. Newer generations, need to be introduced into these older shows and shown a more wholesome view of the world, without a pre-programmed message. All we ask for is honest art, not propaganda.
DS9 is my all-time favorite show - for no reason to do with the "woke" identity politics plaguing most modern mainstream entertainment, but because it's a damn good story with amazing characters.
Ironically, despite having such a diverse cast (including two minority leads/highest-ranking officers, women who kick ass, a couple non-binaries, etc.), AND not being afraid to get dark and gritty, the show would be absolute garbage if it were made today - for precisely that reason. It would be cynical, depressing, and about the characters' genetically-assigned traits rather than the characters themselves.
DS9's characters were deeply layered, multi-faceted, interesting, and human, and they were played brilliantly by the cast.
The characters drove the show's stories, and despite the increasingly-difficult circumstances, they did their best to rise to the challenge and be the best people doing the best job they could.
DS9 has a reputation of being "the dark series" but at its core, I thought DS9 was hopeful, optimistic, and profoundly inspiring.
O'Brien must suffer!
And Blue Balls Bashir
Amen. Ds9 is the best thing ever made. I love what you just described above
I'm only a few episodes in and really enjoying it. I can't put my finger on what it is that I find so engaging but it really grabs me more than when I tried rewatching TNG.
***SPOILER WARNING FOR TORQ21***
The genius of DS9 was showing us what happens when the Federation's high ideals are put to a truly strenuous test, and actually having the (as perverse as this may sound) courage to have those ideals, on balance and with a few exceptions and after a long period of struggle, survive that test, instead of following the modern trend of descending into a cynical deconstruction of the Federation that implies - or outright states - that its founding values and high principles were all lies anyway, and it was never more than a corrupt, dystopian (and Patriarchal, naturally) hell with a shiny technological paint job in any case.
In the series the Federation went through the crucible and emerged with its identity and core values intact. Some ugly, grubby compromises were certainly made along the way (In The Pale Moonlight is one of my favourite DS9 episodes), but in the end it was the ideals of the Federation that allowed it to triumph, not only militarily but also in terms of a validation of the principles the Federation stands for. Section 31's machinations were foiled because principled individuals would not allow them to commit genocide, no matter how expedient that genocide might be to the Federation in the midst of a desperate war, and the Founders (and their Dominion) were defeated by an alliance held together primarily by the integrity and leadership of Federation personnel, and instead of being exterminated or forced into a marginal existence as hated exiles, they were offered a better way and a chance to integrate into a galactic community of species in a meaningful fashion.
I can't imagine Kurtzman era Trek doing any of that. Kurtzman and his cronies would not have the beginnings of the creative or writing ability to attempt anything like that, still less sufficient respect for what Star Trek, at its best, can and should be.
Why I Watch Old Movies and TV Shows: because things change, time moves on, younger people don't like the things I like, and I don't like that. It comforts me to say that my tastes are objectively better.
I love this idea for a series. I've 100% given up on modern movies
Go for it Dave! I'm craving shows that distract from the current and coming misery for just a little while. I just watched blazing saddles for the first time and lmao. It definitely couldn't be made now
Same here. I discovered Stargate SG1 last year and I freaking love it.
I know I'm pretty late for this, but when the title to this video screamed at me. I never really get excited for cinema anymore, and I just watch old stuff
If you end up following through with that idea, I hope you cover my favorite superhero movie - The Rocketeer.
Great movie, still go back to it from time to time. And the scene where the mobster turns on the villain (played to great effect by Timothy Dalton) when he finds out the guy is a Nazi is fantastic. "I may not earn an honest buck, but I'm 100% American." Considering Hollywood won't even let Superman say "Truth, justice, and the American way" anymore... that line gets me every time.
Dude, I have been doing this for a long while now.
I already had a fondness for shows and movies of times gone, but when Star Trek Discovery came around, along with what they did to Star Wars and just before the end of the epic Marvel run, they started inserting agenda-laced entries like Captain Marvel, I have almost completely checked out from modern cinema and entertainment in general.
I started watching the old Taxi show with a young Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd as side characters and had a blast. I watched Family Ties and Cheers, marveling at how the shows I found "boring" in my young years are glowing with heart and good natured fun.
Then I moved on to see what the action shows were of the era and got hooked on Starsky & Hutch along with Magnum p.i. which was almost a straight road to Columbo, for the crime aspect, then have hit home ground with Quantum Leap.
I'm pretty convinced that I can spend the rest of my time on this earth with real and entertaining shows even if nothing newly produced ever gets to be good anymore. Screw the woke-infested agenda factories, I've bought my entertainment on disc, so I don't even need to rely on streaming and subscription services.
Hmm… Kinda feels sad that there already is more old entertainment to watch than I have time left on earth.
We're with you, Dave. Those of us who believe in optimism, wholesomeness and decency. Thank God TNG was made when it was - perfect and untouched by wokeness. It will last forever. The new evil Trek shows will be as swiftly forgotten as the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Speak the truth brother.
A movie they can't make today because it doesn't have lead women is The Good The Bad and The Ugly starring Clint Eastwood
Keep all these good movies and series on DVD (my parents even have some on VHS, and a player for those) so even if they're ever altered in some bleak future, we'll still have the originals.
Merry Christmas Dave, and everyone here who will NEVER surrender to the nihilism of the current zietgeist! 🎄
@A dudes thoughts- yeah I really enjoyed Enterprise, but that seems to be a rare opinion.
Amen
I've been saying this for a while that more and more people are going to check out of the current entertainment landscape in favour of the pre woke era of decades past.
You've mentioned some interesting older shows on your channel before and I'd love to hear more about whats good!
I always appreciate your point of view and your presentation is spot on. Many thanks.
I just recently started watching DS9 again after about 10 years, and I'd almost forgotten how excellent and unique this show was, even for Star Trek at the time. The Dominion main story line is one of the best ever told.
I gave up DS9 because of it's strong religious theme. But after the dissatisfaction of watching the first three episodes of Kurtzman's STD. I needed to get some new trek contents somwhere else.
"You never watched DS9" A voice whispered from the back of my mind. Ah yes! Theres the answer! I just have too ignore the silly religious koo koo and I have houers of new trek.
It was a sentimental moment meeting Worf again, perhaps the greatest highlights of DS9.
I hear 'ya loud & clear. Most of the TV I'll choose to watch are older shows like the classic Westerns from the 50s-70s (Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rifleman, Have Gun Will Travel, or Rawhide), Little House on the Prairie, The Addams Family, and the classic Star Trek series (up through Voyager…with the occasional Enterprise) as well as the occasional movies shown on Svengoolie on Saturdays. I've recently added X-Files to that, since I found it on Comet (a local TV Sci-Fi channel), but not much else is even worth checking out.
Oh, well, I still have a good selection from those.
Excellent taste 👍
Saw this happening about 20 years ago, accelerated pace 10 yrs ago. Between "digital cloud storage" and streaming to eliminate physical possession, and later the wokism we suffer, I am glad I started hoarding physical media: I am proud of my thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, audio cassettes, VHS tapes, etc. Not worth anything to steal. Cannot be altered. Absent a fire these will last the rest of my life.
Please do it! I’m totally burnt out and demoralised. I desperately need to escape to a more optimistic frame of mind. And I love old movies music and culture.
Hey Dave, I’m right in line with you. I’ve been drifting back to nostalgia myself with rewatching shows like Matlock, In the heat of the night, and in regards to Sci-fi I can’t go wrong with DS9. A film similar feels to The Majestic I’d recommend is called “pleasentville”
Pleasantville is a deeply subversive film. Not as wholesome as it appears on the surface. It undermines traditional American values.
@@CoffeeConnected It was a shit film. Basically, Eve brought sex to Adam and that caused him and his people to wake up.
Matlock is great. Also Perry Mason is wonderful from the 1960s TV series and the movies from the 1980s.
For TV I went through mysteries like Columbo, Murder She Wrote, The Prisoner, family fare like The Waltons, Little House, Dr Quinn, and sitcoms like Frasier, Golden Girls and Night Court!
It's getting so hard to find a movie on Netflix that doesn't have a single mother main character saving her son, fighting terrorists, escaping evil men, or just being plotlessly cool
Or the tiny 5'2" women that can throw around larger men with tippy tappy martial arts while they were high heels.
A women with a gun can be extremely dangerous but no they decide to make them not dangerous or believable.
When you see Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson or McQueen on screen you just know they are extremely dangerous men.

Just spent a day visiting my mother at her nursing home. The flat screen tv in her room in permanently tuned on the LIFETIME channel.

LMAO!! WTF!! Every baby mama is hero now!?!
@@juniorjames7076 That. Or her husband's secretly a murderer or there's a cultish highschool clique.
Or that act like characters like Ripley from Alien, didn't exist.
She was motherly towards Newt in the second movie and a badass. The formula can work, but in modern Hollywoke it's forced and inorganic.
Yes sir. Please show us the light of older Cinema that concentrated more on quality than personal agenda of the producers and the current industry. Back then it wasn't the drive what's going to sell, but more of what message is being shared with the masses. Stay awesome!!
Hey Dave, I enjoy watching these videos you've been making because they remind me so much of what I once loved and point me towards that which I've missed out on but can enjoy for the first time. Please keep it up!
I've been doing an X-Files rewatch recently and for the most part it holds up and is great.
Really miss the 90s aesthetic.
We had no idea in the 90s how lucky we were. We were absolutely spoiled rotten with so many great movies and tv shows
I've been a nostalgia junkie even before all THIS
but as ya can imagine I fell hard when all THIS unfolded realising everything is being taken away from us looking back at old films an shows we hear ya all too well Dave

I believe reviewing or revisiting older films and shows is a brilliant idea!
Most of my 1,600 DVD Movie Vault are Pre-1970...1931-1969. Worldwide Cinema Horror/Fantasy/SciFi/Adventure/Comedy... Themes of Heroic deeds, Happy Endings, Good VS. Evil.....and i luv it so✌🏻👨🏻
I've been rereading the classics, watching old movies and playing old video games. Occasionally I pop my head up and look around the current popular culture landscape, and I find that I'm not missing much at all. I would be very interested in watching your new series.
I love retro game, and i before it become so mainstream, watch old anime, and old ovas, and like you i watch modern anime, not missing anything, and everytime i think i find something new is disapointment, even anime is starting with re do, reimagine
Juat watched the first and second Indiana Jones films with my 15 year-old son and my fiance this past week. They really enjoy them. My son has been asking when we're gonna watch the Last Crusade since I told him it was my fav.
after that you could show him earlier Sean Connery, like the 60's bond 007 films.
YES! YES! YES! I would look forward to a channel you would make spotlighting the great & uplifting entertainment from past generations!
My top pic as a suggestion? Barry Levinson’s 1990 gem “Avalon”. Family, history, Americana, laughter, tears… My favorite movie.
I would love a series like that! I recently discovered your channel, and I love it! Thank you for the great content you produce!
That's a brilliant idea you could introduce us to some gems that we actually missed plus you could also get some younger people in to classic films and classic TV series they're crying out for good material as well
And that's why old movies are practically inaccessible online. But don't worry, Netflix will have some fresh new-speak production to shove down your throat every day from now on.
Sail the high seas, me matey!
Btw, youtube is chok full of old movies.
I was talking about classic movies with roommate....the 4 classic holiday movies...those 4 movies you grew up with, that you struggled to stay up till end....starting at 7pm and ending near midnight. the sound of music, the wizard of oz, the 10 commandants, and its a wonderful life.
I'm glad I'm not alone on this. I mainly watch old stuff too. My parents always ask me if I've seen any good new movies lately, and I always just start naming old films I've just bought on blu-ray or something.
I've been staying in the past as far for awhile now. When I used to drink I would play episodes of the old black and white Robin hood. It was so pure and unbridled and it was full of valuable lessons about life. I would 100% love to watch reviews from you on classics! You got my support, Dave! Daniel WatcheroftheLord
I did enjoy ''robin hood: men in tights'' more than ''blazing saddles?!?''
Oh that one's good. I was talking about The Adventures of Robin Hood from 1955. It was wonderful.
@@danielwatcherofthelord1823 I know
Spot on...I find myself seeing what's on the TCM channel...old stuff I usually haven't heard of, and simply amazing! It seems, especially Cary Grant movies...in fact I recently saw The Bishop's Wife, which had some serious overtones...but done tastefully and towards a positive goal...today that movie would be made in a vile way.
ben Shapiro recently reviewed that film
I just watched The Majestic and can I say THANK YOU for introducing me to my now all-time favourite movie.
I really don't get emotional at movies but I was choking up at so many points in the film. There's so much soul and heart and patriotism and simplicity and goodness all wrapped up with a kicker swing soundtrack.
I love all your videos man! It's nice to see other people around the world not just my close circle of friends can feel how degrading our media and political hacks have become. Happy Armistice Day and Merry Christmas!
When Netflix "deplatformed" Chris Lilley's brilliant shows (Summer Heights High etc) because they are "problematic', I immediately saw the value of physical media. Love finding old gems in charity shops - a great way of exploring the past.
When whoever it was pulled the nonsense with Gone with the Wind, I started seriously looking at activly getting the older films, such as the Shirley Temple & James Stewert Westerns.
Just torrent everything.
Physical media every time for me. I loved Summer Heights High btw.
