I rewatch the old stuff because a lot of it seems to be much more meaningful.

The older, classic movies had more "humanity" and wholesomeness to them. FAR BETTER acting quality back then, too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 also started to watch old movies. It's like rediscovering cinema all over again, I love it.

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!

There's a VERY big reason why I've been collecting physical media for decades. I saw the writing on the wall.

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

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.

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 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.

"The Best Years of Our Lives" - simply one of the most heartfelt films ever made.

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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! :)

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Dear God please make wholesome reviews. I need that kind of thing.

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.

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! 😀

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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".

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

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.

Movies are like wine. The bad ones go sour with age, but the good ones only get better.

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. ❤

I would love older movie reviews and commentary. I’ve discovered how much I like 1930s-1950s cinema in recent years.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I love old shows, too. I've recently been watching the old black and white Twilight Zones.

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

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.

I often find myself watching old 80s/90s commercials to get back that wholesome feeling that is lacking today

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?

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.

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.

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.

I love old movies. Some of my favourites... The Hustler, Harvey, 12 Angry Men

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 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.

Same here. I discovered Stargate SG1 last year and I freaking love it.

Oldies for me. I love things like The Quiet Man, To Kill a Mocking Bird, Captain Horatio Hornblower, old comedies from before colorized film, Forbidden Planet. Those were the days, my friend.

Casablanca is my second favourite film of all time followed closely by To Kill A Mockingbird. Old movies are where it's at

I watch a lot of old television as well. Just recently for Thanksgiving here in the states, I visited my sister who put on Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for her children while we all cooked. It has been tradition for years for us to watch it every year. And I thought to myself how they could never make wholesome Thanksgiving cartoons anymore today. Instead of simple comedic stories about Thanksgiving dinner and family, they'd be woke garbage focusing on 'stealing land from Indians/killing Indians', and 'white colonization/U.S.A bad'. I feel bad for the poor kids who won't get to experience any kind of enjoyable TV because they get nothing but propaganda shoved into their face.

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.

I really like, "The Majestic". Jim Carrey's, "Yes Man" has a wholesome story arch as well.

I love this idea for a series. I've 100% given up on modern movies

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 Much 💚❤️ from Carlow 🇮🇪☘️

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.

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.

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.

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.

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’ve watched the sweeney, minder, the professionals, sharpe, along with older movies even though I watched them at a younger age with my family you can appreciate them more with an older head.

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.

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.

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 always appreciate your point of view and your presentation is spot on. Many thanks.

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.

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.

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'd say give it a shot. It might help for people to be reminded of the more aspirational side of media that actual Hollywood seems to have forgotten.

Years later and the point still stands.

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

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”

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.

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!

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

I agree with you...recently rewatched both "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" and "The Incredible Hulk" TV series which were released to Blu-Ray recently, and in HD look their best, and hold up beautifully artistically, with two memorable (though different) lead characters played by Darren McGavin and Bill Bixby. No interest in anything new. Good time to revisit the original "Spiderman" trilogy with Tobey Maguire as well, no need of a multiverse here!

My son lives off 80s 90s and early 2000s movies... he says it's so much better, not endless remakes with political overtones... just individual, great movies

I am on a world travel right now and I actually went to Casablanca a little less than a month ago. I was only there two days but made sure I went to Rick's Cafe and had lunch there. Now, I know the real Rick's Armenian Cafe was actually a movie set but the Cafe they built there is amazing and I feel proud to say that I have been there. In addition, I had the lamb plate and the food is amazing. The service is remarkable. When I told my waiter that I do not drink alcohol, he had the bartender make me a special mocktail. It was an experience that will live with me for the rest of my life!

Here here! We have been doing the same, older films are more relatable anyway, I'm 41. Today's films are riddled with satanic and occult symbolism it's sickening.
