| ▲ | 4ggr0 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | same! in the last couple of years i've seen these movies in a cinema: The Big Lebowski, Fargo, La Heine, Apocalypse Now, HEAT. and i already bought tickets for Run Lola Run, Clerks and Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. it's especially cool as someone who's young and wasn't even born when some of these movies initially came to cinemas. at the same time it's unbelievably sad that in recent years about 70% of the movies i saw at a cinema were multiple decades old. | | |
| ▲ | ragazzina 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I love Lola rennt so much. Really a one-of-a-kind movie. When you grow up it's not only nostalgia, but the feeling that most of the ideas are really not new. I remember watching 'You Were Never Really Here', that had a huge hype behind it, and thinking "I have seen this same exact movie a hundred of times". | | |

Really a one-of-a-kind movie. +1, yes! watched it for the first time a couple of years ago after hearing about it and deciding to ethically download it, since then i've watched it a couple of times and at the start of this year even bought a Blu-Ray Player and a 4k Ultra HD copy* just because I wanted a physical copy to put on a shelf and watch it in an optimal quality. and as mentioned i'll go watch it in a cinema in a couple of months. i also created a letterboxd account this year to log every movie i've ever seen. what's weird is that i've logged over 400 movies, but if i look at a graph of the years they were realeased in it's almost a perfect bell curve with the top being between 2006 - 2010. *in these last couple months i started buying used blu-rays and DVDs and now got about 70 movies. guess this is my form of nostalgia. others got vynils, i got movies. physical media just feels different than downloaded movies. cover art, bonus material, DVD menues with soundtracks. love it... |

There are literally thousands of good movies released between ~1890 and last year. It’s improbable more than a hundred or so will come out this year that’re worth your time, and they’ll be harder to sort from the junk this close to release. If anything, it’s amazing new movies have as large an audience as they do. | | |
| ▲ | 4ggr0 38 minutes ago | parent [-] | | good point i guess, time allows for the good stuff to be remembered and stay relevant. kind of how some movies like The Big Lebowski were considered flops but nowadays are cherished cult classics. |
