The vast majority of my fave films were released before I was born :lol:

Poltergeist always gets me tbh.
Released when I was 5 months old, but was filmed between 6-4 months before I was born.


Another thing that gets me, is Dominique Dunne was already dead by the time I first saw the movie and I never even knew until only a few years ago.

They'll never know what movies are.
They'll never have to know what it's like to read Sexy Celebrity posts. Lucky bastards.

A lot of movies I really love came out the same year I was born. I think it's oddly fitting.

I'm always impressed when older films have great effects that look much better than ones that came out decades later. I had a few of those moments when rewatching films for the Sci-Fi Countdown, because when I saw them before I didn't know what year they actually came out in. Unfortunately, I can't remember which films they were though.

what fascinates me is that 2001 was made even before Man actually took a walk in space and iwas able to depict with a great deal of accuracy what things look from space and various low gravity phenomenon, while, at the same time, being able to do futurology also with a great deal of accuracy [example: tablets].

There was a great deal of research done and a lot of great minds involved in the making of that movie [NASA, as per example] at that time.

I see many people defending Practical Effects over CGI a lot. In some cases the practical ones are better for sure. But not always.

I'm definitely the old fart on this site...I was two years out of college when Poltergeist was released.

About half my favourite films were made before i was born, but i don't have any trouble believing they made films before i existed. i am not particularly awed by the fact that i wasn't born when they were made.

Sense of humour is persistent.

Because it's depressing being around all the babies around here.

Not many. Black Christmas, Live and Let Die, Theatre of Blood, The Man Who Haunted Himself.

I think I am in awe of early films, going right back to the birth of film really. It's time travel basically, and if only humans had discovered the processes sooner – imagine what we would have been able to see.

Yeah, memento mori :).

Exactly – it's a record. Like finding a prehistoric creature trapped in amber.

Yeah you do. And then it's "Oh no. It's a dream isn't it? It's a bloody dream" ;).

I'm thinking you and I are right around the same age. Grab a rocker and we can yell at kids to stay off the lawn.
