Matt C 452 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Joey hates Wes Anderson.I'm not a fan of Wes Anderson either. His style doesn't resonate with me, for lack of a better word.I remember growing up watching the older AMC (the one that showed classic movies before it evolved into what it is now) and watching classics like Thief of Bagdad, The Jungle Book and The Adventures of Robin Hood. There's a certain style, unabashed imagination and passion invested into films like that... you don't see that kind of movie nowadays.I'm also interested in early Japanese cinema. House is one of the strangest yet imaginative and funniest films I've seen, while something as controversial like In the Realm of the Senses speaks volumes about sexual obsession. Rashomon is certainly a watershed for Japanese cinema, and still holds up today.I was born in '87, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHouseholdCat 4 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 It depends what era we're talking about. I still shy away from black and white films. I think I know more films made in the 80s than the 70s and most films I know were done after I was born. Everything from '88 onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 It doesn't matter when a film was made, I'll watch it.Some of my favorite films were made prior to my birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Have you watched Whistle Down the Wind yet? Download and get it watched today! It'll warm your heart.

Quintus 5,399 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 It's true, Karol. Europeans when emulating English often do so with an American twang to their accent, as if taught the language by an American teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Terminator 2 was very mediocre also.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 There is a sort of "mock" american accent with lots of nasal sounds which is considered the bog standard american accent.Like a posh english accent is often used to imitate any Englishmen.
