1) new movies are utter crap for the most part. There’s no storytelling craft involved, only formulaic renderings of past films with plenty of SJW wokey dokey sprinklings to ensure the abortion leaves a nasty taste in your mouth.
You Learn the TricksIt's become obligatory now, the vilian has been conquered and is lying mortally wounded, only to bound back up as things are calming down. But in this movie, it was a new device and scared everyone in the audience. I sat through the movie twice just to watch their reaction. This clip cuts it off, but as she (Audrey Hepburn, who is blind) struggles, she opens the door to the refrigerator and its eerie lighting just makes the scene more frightening as she tries to pull away from his grasp on her leg. She finally turns the refrigerator over on him and he doesn't get up after that.

I watch
1. Foreign movies
Here are all the films of 1990:

See how many you even remember hearing of, try to find one you actually remember, see if there's ONE you want to see again.

One of the big problems with today's movie making is parasitic storytelling.

But the list is woefully incomplete. Where are the Tarantino movies of the 90s: Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Natural Born Killers, Reservoir Dogs? Where is Terminator-2? Where is Fargo? Big Lebowki? That list is BS.
I watchKarloff says
1. Foreign movies
2. Older movies
3. Some independent movies
Just watch old movies. That's what I do. 1930's-2000 or so
I'm going to watch more by Jonathan Pageau
My wife has been getting videos from the public library,The Bureau was great! Edgy. You can join Kanopy with a library card and stream movies. I've zeroed in on dated foreign gangster movies. Check out Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Cop, which inspired Tarantino.
I hardly watch professional sports, same goes for Hollywood movies.
Seems like everything coming through my screen is via the paint brush stroke of a propagandist.
I'm glad this thread resurfaced. As many of you may know from my many threads raving about the quality of Movies from Korea, China, and Russia over the last ten years, beats our movie production hands down
@Tendpoundbass.
Give us a list.
I've not seen Solaris yet - been meaning to do that, but I did enjoy Nightwatch and Daywatch. Those were just fun. Above average mindless fun.
