Dave Cullen has been reviewing older films and some of them are REALLY good. This is something I think we should all do. There are soooo many good movies made in the past and that are FAR superior to the garbage made today.
Hell yes. These older dystopian moves are some of my favs. Soylent Green, The Last Man on Earth, Zardoz, The Omega Man, THX-1138, Rollerball, and The Andromeda Strain. They do NOT make movies like that anymore. I have them all. They all have a gritty and realistic factor that nothing has anymore.
Also, watch 2010 and Saturn 3. You’ll thank me. “bows”
Dude, I have found that older films while lacking modern graphics/effects have FAR better stories and characters. I am enjoying like hell digging backwards for movies.
One interesting one I saw recently. Not only was it a great movie it was damned prophetic.
“Three Days of the Condor” from 1975. Robert Redford is in it and it is the first movie I think that talks about the war machine and the three letter agencies. Epic.
Not seen any older dystopian movies (not usually my thing despite me liking ‘The Hunger Games’ films) but if anyone wants a bit of none-PC British humour I highly recommend the original Pink Panther films. ‘A Shot In the Dark’ is my favourite😂. I admit Steve Martin did try his best on the 2006 reboot although those films weren’t as none-PC as the originals were.
I remember those from back in the day! Those were so good!
I actually really enjoy British comedy stuff from that time frame like Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. I also loved Tom Baker as Dr. Who at the time.
I don’t care for modern British stuff though minus “The IT Crowd” which I adore.
