Date: August 19th, 2019 2:16 PM Author: greedy macaca tbf, not all of those were instant hits, or were hits but grew over time as people like me who watched them as a kid used nostalgia to turn them into legend. So, you can say the jury is still out for 2019 movies. I'm not optimistic even one movie from today will come close to any one of those, but the point needs to be made.

|
Date: August 19th, 2019 4:07 PM Author: appetizing fanboi so what was your point exactly?
that the movies listed above aren't different in quality from the movies released today because, even though they were beloved and considered well-made at the time of release, that appreciation has also grown? |
|
Date: August 19th, 2019 4:10 PM Author: greedy macaca Alright, man, I'll help you through this. The movies were hits, but they are also believed by 80s kids. As those kids are now adults these movies have grown with them, and have garnered additional critical acclaim. I was just putting it out there that the same could happen with a 2019, but I qualified that I did not think that likely.
Not sure what the fuck is going on in here that this concept is so hard. Anyways, we on the same page now? |
|
Date: August 19th, 2019 4:14 PM Author: appetizing fanboi So they were great at the time and people still love them, even more so in fact.
What does this have to do with my OP? |
