If you do end up watching Star Trek, be prepared for the cheesiness of the originals. They had some really, really excellent writers for some of the episodes. There are some gems. I'd say go for it, if you have the time.

Also, learn to love William Shatner, though I can say that it doesn't take too much effort.

Summer Paradise Chit-Chat! (Rule removed, read first post!)

speaking of old TV series, it's pretty sad that people wouldn't wanna watch old movies/TV series just because of the year it's been made.

There's something to that though. A lot has changed over time with the style of film and the humour. I don't like older things for that reason. I don't find M*A*S*H funny.

 

[Captain Gizmo]

Style of movie, what do you mean?

Because people would browse through movies and look at the year it's made and they would go like 'Wow, this movie is really old. It must suck.' I heard a lot of this during my time when I worked at a video store.

Generally you will find that what is appropriate has become at lot more relaxed in terms of society as a whole. What was once thought of provocative is now normal, wearing shorter skirts for example.

The same thing applies to film content and humour. Younger generations find interest in only that relevant to themselves with some exceptions. I know I do just that. Video stores are now virtually rendered obsolete with the internet and Netflix and whatever else and I find it a shame that because the internet and these now forms of technology are more difficult to grasp and get your head around the older you get older classics get left behind and somewhat forgotten about. :(

It's a shame tho, great titles are left unwatched because of that :C

It's funny, but my favorite movie came out in 1942! Casablanca is a great film and I find it very interesting because they didn't know the Nazis were totally evil just yet so they're the bad guys, but not the evil evil bad guys. It's such a good love story too. <3

 

[Captain Gizmo]

I never saw Casablanca.

Although, some of my favorite horror movies are from the 80's and 90's. I also love the Universal Monsters collection from the 30's with Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Jr. & Boris Karloff.

 

[Cordelia]

April Fool's Day from the 80s is one of my favorite horror films, so I do get you there! I also enjoy 80s slasher horror!

 

[Captain Gizmo]

80's slashers are the best ones imo :)

Sadly, I've never gotten around to watch the Leprechaun series :(
I heard it's just a silly horror/comedy flick, but for the sake of classic horrors, I wanna watch it :)

 

[Cordelia]

I really enjoyed the first two Halloween films n_n They are classic and oh so good! Also Nightmare on Elm's Street and Friday the 13th.

 

[Captain Gizmo]

How about Halloween 3? It's the black sheep of the series but it was a very good movie nonetheless.

 

[Cordelia]

It's good enough to me! I just enjoy the genre xD

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

A lot of old movies and TV look cheesy today, but they still have a unique charm from newer ones. Sadly, there's also people who wish new films and TVs would go back to the same style of those old movies to bring back their "quality," seeing as how "The Artist," which is a throwback to the old movies, won the oscars.

Did you guys know that Toy Story is 18 years old? It still looks amazing... and Jurassic Park is 20 years old! Neither of them are cheesy at all n_n It's just amazing to think about, tbqh.

 

[Captain Gizmo]

Jurassic Park had great CGI and animatronics for 1993 :)

I was talking about the old black and white movies and TV, not films and TV from the 90's and onwards.

 

[Cordelia]

I know what you were talking about, I was just commenting on something related. And yes, it did, LilJz... one of the reasons why it still looks so good.

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

And I can't wait for the upcoming fourth JP film that could possibly redeem the franchise's name after the disastrous third installment.
