[QUOTE="m25105"][QUOTE="themajormayor"]2001 is the best oneNAPK1NS

I found a lot of "classic" movies to be really bad, filled with bad acting, writing and directing, honestly, I never got why did films such as 2001, clockwork orange, the shining and dr strangelove received so much love. They really shine as an example of how people mindlessly follow opinions of 1 critic who all of a sudden goes against the mainstream ideas.

many of these classical films were coldy received at the time of their release, until years laters, one critic came in and said "this is amazing!" so the whole world starts "OHHHH HOW COULDNT WE REALIZE YES THIS IS AMAZING!! INSTANT CLASSIC!".

I seriously cant watch old movies, the acting in them is so pitiful.

Seriously? You don't know what you're talking about. For example, Dr Strangelove was very well received (to my knowledge), and got a good number of awards/nominations.

A majority of his films were well recieved at the time of their release. The Shining is really the only one I can think of that got very mixed reactions when it first came out. I could aslo say 2001 but there were still people praising it as a masterpiece at the time of its release and it still recieved a few oscar noms.
