Although I enjoy *some new movies that are coming out, there seems to be something quintessentially missing from many of them. The films rely on the 'effect' to sell the movie it is the special effects + the soundtrack carefully edited together in post production that are what are being sold as a rather sanitised manufactured package in alot of cases and some cases rely almost entirely on computer generated graphics. In the middle of this mix character development has disappeared, you don't get to empathise as much with your character on screen or get to know them, which I miss, and you can most graphically understand this by watching remakes and then understanding how movie making has changed.
The point of this thread is I have a love of old movies as well, in particular my favorite actor being Humphrey Bogart, so hopefully this could be a thread where the actors acted, (although I have seen some pretty awful old movies too) there was nary a CGI scene in sight, and the pacing of the movies was somewhat less psychotic.
