I agree. Nostalgia is just one reason to like old movies.
The point I was making in my post was to explain why so often we hear pointless arguments from people -- young and old -- screaming that movies from their era are the only good ones. I love classic movies, but I enjoy new films too. I don't ever want to be one of those old curmodgeons complaining, "They don't make 'em like they used to!"

my main point was that often the "they dont make them like they used to" comes from the shit actors generally used in horror now, compared to the 70's. (and shit music, shit direction..etc) Since home video - very few filmmakers take the horror genre seiously. Plus - the theatre going demographic has changed drastically since the 70's. Movies are mostly made aimed at the 15 - 25 year olds. (thus generally less accomplished actors) I keep saying 'generally' because i am aware that there are always exceptions to the rules .. but dammit - it is true .. for the most part - they dont make movies like they used to - because the climate has changed and there just isnt the demand for quality anymore.

Thanks for your opinions in the last few posts.
So if i truly want to be scared, and put in tension etc. from horror movies, it would be better to get the older movies right? Any reccomendations?

-"M"
-"Night of the Living Dead" (1968) -"Horror Hotel" -"Nosferatu" (1922) (although this might be a little too old for your taste) -"Dracula" (1931) -"Frankenstein" (1931) -"I Walked With a Zombie" -"House on Haunted Hill" (Vincent Price version- I don't know the date...probably around 1958 or so) There's a few to get you started- most of them necessities.

Well, it all comes down to a matter of taste.
But I enjoy old horror movies because they had different ways to scare the shit out of a person. Instead of using special FX, they were able to create a creepy mood solely through camera angles, movements and story. And that's where lies the magic of cinema.

I think for some of us, we remember the impact that the older films had at the time they first came out......Before CGI, and easy to make, high tech, special effects....I like the 'gritty reality' of the older films...They simply have a much different 'feel' than today's 'highly polished, cookie cutter' films
Also, at that time...Many of the concepts were new...We hadn't already experienced them a million times...That feeling tends to linger, too The original Psycho and Night Of The Living Dead blew me away back then...

Old movie's are good, In there own way. For me, its about light and dark. The play on shadows was a great part of the old classic's LIke Phycho for example;; But today's movie making is out of this world. In avery way possible, Lord of the Ring is a prime example of, how far movie making has come. I agree with what Bloodrayne and Blood Red Flower said on this subject,,, for they said it better than I did...

I think all the good classics should just be restored with color and better sound and picture quality. More people would like them I think.
