I enjoy movies with actors that have more to offer than boring, conservative interpretations of a script. Its like "emotional dynamic range". Some actors have it and some dont. Many older films in my opinion follow a script in strict order and fail in bringing forward the emotional/situational content of a scene. As if they try too hard in being accurate to the book or script and forget the emotional and situational nuance of the scene. Many (not all) older classics seem grey in color (no pun) and boring.

If I want uncolored material that allows me to fill in the blanks I will read the book! I wont cry because 'great' movies of today attempt to use an actors complete dynamic range to flesh out the picture as seen through the directors eyes. Get it Sparky?

At any rate, whats your beef with modern movies and use some examples. Maybe you could include some acting examples as well? Just remember we are comparing great movies here, not flops vs. classics. Perhaps I ask too much? I already know the answer to that one..
