We want things to stay the same, which makes us rather hostile to new films,
It's interesting that I saw this today...watching Fred and Ginger on the west coast feed and wondering how many times I'd seen these...dunno. I don't know how many times I've seen every Hitchcock, screwball comedy, early Woody Allen...but the thing is I can, and have, seen them upteen times and they still are entertaining. As far as not wanting 'change'', technology can't change fast enough for me. Without using all those'underground' apk's (that mystify some people) I wouldn't have watched all the new films I have, but honestly I can't think of many films in the last ten years that I really want to see again, and that's the thing. yes, the film I'm watching is 85 years old, and I have to wonder how many of last year's films will hold up, be considered entertaining, by an audience, eight decades from now.
that being said, here's 10 in no particular order that I really liked enough to see more than once
Best in Show
Gosford Park
Catch Me if You Can
Eighth Grade
Legally Blonde
Good Night and Good Luck
