Favorite old films?

Häxan fuckin rules

Some of the facts in it are outdated but the underlying thesis holds true. The entire movie is just a treat for the eye, every single shot feels delicately crafted, and the effects are still a spectacle to behold

Jim Carrey's magnum opus, tbh, this movie really left an impression on me when I first watched it a few years ago. The ending of this movie never fails to bring tears to my eyes

It's a really beautiful movie, tbh

Chimes At Midnight

It's a tragedy that this film was almost lost

There are so many classics out there it's hard to choose, so I'll try to stick to one's that haven't been mentioned on this page at least:

 

[Blamhammer]

I watched watched Come and See a few weeks ago, definitely a film that stays with you forever.

I have a feeling 12 Angry Men has been mentioned in this thread, but I'll just bring it up anyway.

I think I did bring it up! It’s an excellent film, I know it’s shown in film school too so that’s neat. It’s quite powerful.

 

[Fietto!]

These two.

Yeah, that movie pulls no punches when it comes to it's depiction of war. It's about as harrowing as The Road.

I still remember this film well.

 

[Bomberman]

Hmmmm the original Night of the Living Dead, original Dawn of the Dead, The Breakfast Club, The Thing, An American Werewolf in London. Highlander, Kiki's Delivery Service, Office Space, Dumb and Dumber, Escape from New York, Planet of the Apes. The Blues Brothers, Animal House, Fast times at Ridgemount high , Honestly too many to name

If I had to recommend just one from those periods it would be The Breakfast Club. It is probably my second favorite movie behind the Fellowship of the Ring and really easy for anyone to watch.

Is there a Twilight of the Dead movie?

Is there a Twilight of the Dead movie?

Not by the OG, RIP George A. Romero!
Interesting notes about Night and Dawn though.

Night is public domain meaning anyone can make derrivative works based on it.

Dawn has a producer in the USA holding out for a big paycheck preventing home media releases. Luckily his tendrils do not extend to international and you can import a blu ray/4k from the UK.
