  1. I recently finished watching the Golden Globes, and am very proud to be a classic movie lover tonight, considering that The Artist took home the award for Best Musical/Comedy. It is my hope that this film will send shock waves through Hollywood and will do well at the Academy Awards in a little over a month. Hopefully people will begin to see the true brilliance and authenticity in this Silent Movie and more eager directors will decide to make movies reflecting those of Hollywood's Golden Age.

  2. I have a few influences that got me going on the classics:

     

    1) My grandfather, who's 87 and young as can be began showing me old westerns as early as 2003 (like Shane, The War Wagon) and he also has a massive VHS collection dating back 1991 with about 2,500 movies from the early days of AMC and TCM.

     

    2) On June 20th, 2007 I officially fell in love with the classics when the AFI Top 100 was aired on CBS. I was amazed at how many old films were on the list and began to watch them.

     

    3) In November 2008 I convinced my parents to add TCM to our cable package, and have since become a member here, signed up for Now Playing Magazine, and have began recording movies to blank discs (I have a collection of about 600).

     

    4) I have applied to college hopes of becoming a film director :)

     

    5) As of today I have seen 965 movies made before 1960

     

    That oddly turned into a timeline, but there ya go!

  3. I clicked on this thread thinking it was about Sepiatone(!) but I'm glad it wasn't after reading your post. What an interesting story you have, sepiatone! I was born in 1994, so I don't have the stories or thrills that most people on these boards can elaborate on, like growing up watching Johnny Weismuller Tarzan movies on an old television! But I was very pleased to have read your story and so happy your hear to tell us more about your life and love of movies,
