For some reason I feel like I've read this before, but anyway...
I don't like films because of nostalgia, because I only remember the good films from the old days which makes the newer group seem mediocre. I damn sure don't like a film and/or say I like certain films to fit in. I don't feel the need to say ''wow'' during or after the viewing of a dubbed ''classic''.
Maybe because you're part of the group of fans that enjoy modern cinema more than the older variety and you don't get why alot of people prefer those older fims, you feel the need to come up with theories to explain why...nostalgia, conformity ect.
I like the films that I do because they've entertained me, then there are some films that I might not like all that much or just don't have a ton of replay value(You know, stuff like Mystic River, you watch it once then pull it off the self about a year later) that I think are great because of the acting performances, script, direction or a mix of all three, which it usually takes to make a great film.
I've found myself in this discussion alot of times and I still don't understand why it has to be explained why certain people like certain movies because I think the answer is pretty obvious, we're all different. Different people like different things for different reasons.
