Dramas, war flicks, action, sci-fi... You know I never really sat down to consider my "favorite genre". More my favorite movies. Although I've largely put faith in classic movies, it's always fun to sit down and see how things were done pre-CGI. Nothing against CGI, but it's often fascinating to see an old movie pull off something realistic without going to computers.
Sort of like...
When I first watched 2001 I was amazed at how crisp and clean the visual effects looked for something over 40 years old now. And twenty years later, that bar was kept wonderfully high in 2010.
And all pre-digital. I admire the skill and patience these men must have had when putting together a movie. Don't get me wrong, Avatar was a shiny movie and well executed. But the way 2001 and 2010 has aged so well over the years is astounding.
The movies themselves has a kind of deep, existential plot that you don't get today. I swear, what movies will be discussing forty years on by discussing its meaning? I'll await the time to see.
The attention to physics has also raised a whole different bar that makes me unamused with a lot of modern sci-fi, lol.
And because I like chants:
And... Well, there are other hidden things to like too...
Most movies these days are just violence and sex and gore.
