Now that you mention that, I totally get what you mean. I just think their accents, the pop culture / "comedy", and their ideas from that time period are fascinating, because they're so... foreign and different from what today's like. Even though I said the past few decades weren't what they were cracked up to be, it's still amazing to sit back and go, "Wow. People who grew up in the 50s/60s are the same people who created the iconic music and cartoons from the past few decades." Heck, even today I'm amazed that the people who grew up with said cartoons and music are the same people who made the internet what it is today.
Haha, I don't watch many horror movies, but any movies from that time period that required special fx are pretty cool. Which reminds me! I'm a James Bond fan, and I've always wanted to watch the really really old James Bond movies, but I never have anyone to watch them with!!
Haha, Ive never even thought about that before : p Them being the people who made all the things we like today, I mean : p But yeah, youre right. That is kinda neat to think about, it also makes you wonder how thats even possible haha : p
And yeah, I always enjoy the special effects from older films as well. I can definitely say I like movies from the past far more than movies today. I dont really watch many movies, actually : p But all my favorites are from the past.
Though one of my favorite films ever is the Frighteners, I think that one qualified for computerized effects :/
Oh! And I am too, actually. But /only/ for the Pierce Bronson 007 movies : p Have you seen those yet? Like Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough? And you said you had a little brother, right? You should force him to watch them with you : p
