Which old movie, if it never got released in the past, would still do
well if released AS IS for the very first time today?

The Breakfast Club would probably be better today than it did the
first time. With all of the buzz that the internet could do for it
today (think Blair Witch), this intellectual movie starring Molly
Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, and others would be a major
classic today.

Dirty Dancing would totally tank today. Too much competition in the
dancing genre not just from movie theaters but TV as well.

Speaking of Patrick Swayze, Ghost would do just as well today as it
did years ago.

The Gremlins and Goonies would probably be slightly bigger hits if
released for the first time today.

Saturday Night Fever would probably become an underground hit but I
don't think it would become the phenomenon that it was in its real
release, and its star would probably not become an icon as a result.

E.T. the Extraterrestial would totally flop today but Ghostbusters
would probably be as big as the Men In Black movies but not bigger.

Jaws would go straight to DVD and cable. Great for its time but
obsolete in today's world.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High would probably make the top 5 but no
higher.

The Back to the Future series would be fun to watch today for the very
first time. And it would probably still be a big hit.

No, wait a minute, let me guess: Since your post is about movies, and
since there are movies that feature shortwave radios, your post is
actually on topic and in keeping with the spirit of
rec.radio.shortwave.

Uh huh.

Many of the Hitchcock movies would do very well. A capable director
can create a high level of tension and suspense without resorting to
simple in-your-face tricks so popular today.

Lawrence of Arabia. High Noon. Wizard of Oz. Cars. Lucas.

Those aren't old movies. They're all in color, for cripe's sake.

The best American film of all time would not catch on today.
"Casablanca." Neither would "Gone With the Wind", the two greatest
love stories to ever hit the screen. Do you realize Bogie uttered the
most poignant sentence uttered in any American movie? ""Of all the gin
joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

" But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow.
What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at
being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of
three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy
world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now... Here's looking at
you kid."

They don't write scripts like that anymore.

Fartingus

For a color movie - The Wind and the Lion.

For a b&w movie with subtitles, - The Wages of Fear. I seen this movie a
few weeks ago and it had me on the edge of my seat!!

I would go to see both in a theatre.

Jeez...it's funny, but I've seen every one of those movies on TELEVISION you
nit! As a matter of fact, I don't think I watched a single one of those in
a theater at all. Lighten up jackass, the title of the post was clear
enough. Why not just skip on by instead of being an uptight hall monitor?
