Revisiting classics

I watched:Die Nibelungen: Siegfried,Die Nibelungen: Krimhilde's Rache, andThe Birth of a Nation.

Still haveDoktor Mabuse Der Spieler,Woman in the MoonandThe Cabnet of Dr Caligarito watch.

I'm not sure those are the types of movies you're talking about though.

I saw Excalibur again a few weeks ago. i watch it every time it plays on cable. the movie is all kinds of awesome and has some interesting roles for stars earlier in their careers. like. Liam Neeson, Helen Mirren and Patrick Stewart to name a few.

Lang suks. Murnau iz da shiznitz!!1!


Joke put aside I see a number of classics, but not much lately...

What?! Thems are fightan words son!

Actually,NosferatuI remember watching when I was still in my teens (and several times since then) and has always been a favorite. Only in the past few years have I begun to really "re-appreciate" (?) silent movies, mostly with seeing an extended, reconstructedMetropolisthat only was released in 2010 I believe. Which of course is an amazing film on many levels.

I'm a bit of a weird person I guess. I watch a movie today and there are special effects, I say "meh, computers, whatever." when I watch something from the '20's though, I think "Good God man! How did they manage that!"

Anyways, back to Murnau, I should watch some more, though I do have a bias towards Lang. However,Faustis on my list to watch.

Good thread. Ronin, always worth a re-watch.

I'm not sure this thread is about what you think it's about... but yes, that's an awesome movie.

I can take movies that are from like the 80's maybe even some of the 70's stuff. But anything before this I just cannot handle.

Watch Hitchcock'sRope.

A Clockwork Orange

i watch the man with no name trilogy religiously at least once a year...To me, the lack of dialogue made the movies really strong, it kept Clint Eastwood's character mysterious...and it showed what a fantastic actor he was and still is.

I just watched The Graduate again a couple weeks ago.
