But a lot of people enjoy watching films that are culturally and historically significant.

You'll notice that they never say "that movie sucks, but it was significant". They always lavishly praise it like it was a golden calf worthy of devotion.
I'm really sorry but "Dr. Strangelove" is not funny or good. "2001: A Space Odyssey" is borderline retarded. Anyone who watches this movie and thinks is genius was either born 70 years ago or is a pretentious douche.
THAT MOVIE HAS A 15 MINUTE INTRO OF PEOPLE IN MONKEY SUITS SCREAMING! HOLY SHIT.

It's not always easy to differenciate nostalgia from the actual worth of a movie, but luckily there's people like me, who haven't seen shit like King Kong when it came out... in 1933... and can tell you wether is sucks or not based on objective standards by which people actually judge movies when they go see them in theaters or at home with friends.

For instance, here's a con against King Kong: the stop motion sucked. I win.

Depends what you find entertaining.

When I suggest things to people, I don't bank on the fact that they have weird unique interests. Like, if someone asks me "hey what's fun to do in Montreal?", I don't assume they love stamp-collecting and direct them to the nearest stamp museum.

In the same way, people who are asked "hey what's a good movie" and reply "Oh Citizen Kane" are liars. LIARS I SAY.

I fail to see how spending ninety minutes watching something as shallow as Ghostbusters can be any less of a waste of time than watching something that actually has some depth like, for example, Jean-Luc Godard's "Weekend" made in 1967.

If you watch a movie solely for the story, I suggest you start reading novels instead.

absolutely right. pox, you are genuris. pure genuris

I tend to avoid listening to the advice of extremely religious people, not out of bias or prejudice but rationality.
When somebody says "God gives us diseases because of our lifestyle and to punish us" I doubt they'll have anything worthwhile or useful to say...

bah im only 1 of those

You know pox, the more I read your posts about not being ignorant or not being a douchebag or whatever you happen to be preaching about at the time, the more I realize that you're a fucking tool, man.

You sit there and type out these posts and responses and all I see from you is "I'M RIGHT AND MY OPINION IS THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS! WHAT'S THIS? YOU DISAGREE? FUCK YOU, I WIN, FOREVER."

I mean, I see you here right now talking about these old movies and all you're saying is that the old movies suck because they aren't the movies of today. Oh, I'm sorry that someone didn't think to invent time travel so that we could go back in time and give CGI to those guys who made the original Dracula, jeez.

I sometimes wonder if the glass on your little bubble of ignorance and assholery has fogged over and you can't see the rest of the world around you.

You tought I was your favorite mod?
haha wtf.

You thought that your opinion on something was one thing, but you were wrong, and your actual opinion was something else?

WELL I THOUGHT I LIKED STAR WARS BUT NOW I REALIZE THAT I THOUGHT IT SUCKED ALL ALONG.

Poxpower, for at least a year after I signed up in August '06, I thought you were a woman.

What do all these books have in common? They make you read them in english class.

1. Actually, some of those books are pretty interesting. But, I guess NG'ers wouldn't understand 'cause most of them can barely read.
2. Old movies are usually funner, because they have plots. That's something that happens rarely nowadays.
3. Stay away from the IDIOTS who have that attitude. Anyone who's smart and has that attitude is completely safe.
4. This is the only one that I agree with. RUN AWAY.

pox, that really hits me where i live.... (cries in a corner in disbelief)

Films that 'suck' don't tend to have any significance because they didn't make any kind of impact when they were originally released,

That's not my point. My point is that people take old shitburgers that maybe impressed kids 50 years ago and pretend like it's still relevant today.

Or in Newgrounds term: it's like making a "the 50 best flashes ever" and putting Scrotum the Puppy and Street Life near the top because they were awesome in 2000. Anyone who does that clearly fails to understand the purpose of making "best ever" lists and are instead making "what movies would I put in a museum: the list".

And I accuse movie critics of the exact same sin. Look at any top whatever lists and it is LITTERED with old movies that, quite plainly, SUCK. I've given up on watching them because I am tired of getting burned again and again by how bad these movies are by modern standards.

Move on people.

Yes I agree with you.
