In Reply to: Are old films for old people only? posted by usafwso on February 5, 2008 at 22:07:09:
"Old"?I hope to tell you that middle age begins at 50, although twenty-somethings may not think so now...they will.
I was 16-17 when I discovered the great silents, and I loved many classic movies before that. When I was in college, it was hip to check out great films, many of which were of course vintage...some of which (such as Chaplin's) were even in rerelease at the time.
Good movies are good movies. How else to ecplain the perennial popularity of Casblanca, North By Northwest et al?
People just need exposure to them.
OTOH, great art films often have a limited audience of whatever age, whether they were released in 1930 or 2003, so I can't get my knickers in too much of a knot over it.
