Which old movie would still be a big hit today?
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. http://sexualidol.blogspot.com |

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. wrote in message oups.com...

The Third Man flick is good.1965,when I was at Fort Hood,Texas.One
evening,I was walking along a street in beautiful down town Killeen,Texas.I saw a purty girl who worked behind the counter in that restaurant/cafe in beautiful down town Killeen.I went in there and I ordered a cup of coffee and a hamburger.(not much to do in down town Killeen in 1965) I dropped a few coins in that thingy at the counter,I played The Third Man theme music on that jukebox.The girl said, Who is playing that? I played dumb.I quickly realized the girl has NO class at all! cuhulin |

The BEST one liners in any American movie. For example: "Here's looking at you kid." "I stick my neck out for nobody." "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By.'" "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." "You played it for her, you can play it for me." "Round up the usual suspects." "Looie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Never once in that film does anyone say ,"Play it again, Sam." The beautiful girl named Ilsa Lund in the picture was Ingrid Bergman. "As Time Goes By" by Herman Hupfeld was the one song most closely associated with any American movie. It's the BEST film I ever saw,period. Fartingus |
