Replying to Avatar Dissident Sound

the oldest movies that i can actually recommend to anybody are Dr Stragelove ( 1964 ), Apocalypse Now ( 1979 ), Full Metal Jacket ( 1987 ) ...

to be honest i haven't really bothered watching anything older than that ...

there is just a really sharp dropoff in quality with time that makes older movies not worth my time ...

some of the more recent movies i enjoyed

Raw ( 2016 ), Aniara ( 2018 ), Hereditary ( 2018 ), Midsommar ( 2019 ), Possessor Uncut ( 2020 )

any of these is better than anything made prior to Kubrick.

Ah man.. ..i envy you if you haven't watched hitchcock

Vertigo (1958), Marnie (1964) and Psycho (1960) are incredible, give them a try.

You are not "recommending" Godfather? Deer Hunter?

i'm not into movies like Godfather or The Departed or any of the Italian Mafia stuff. somehow not really interested in the Hitchcock stuff either. i may have seen some Hitchcock on TV as a child in Soviet Union.

like i said i dislike everything old. if anybody likes something old it is in 90% of cases either nostalgia or snobbery. it is almost never merit. but there are exceptions.
