'Lost Horizon'. Damn, Jane Wyman was hot back in the day.
It's going to get to the point where I won't watch anything that isn't forty years old. Damn modern movies suck.

Follow Ups:
Wonderful dialogues.
I remember watching it on tv when I was ten years old.

We are on binge film noir viewing - loaded 27 of them into my Netflix magazine!
Great reprieve from all that modern garbage.
Touch of Evil is great. Progressive for its time.

'No Highway in the Sky' with Jimmy Stewart.
Track this one down, it's absolutely worth it. Been my favorite movie since I was a kid.

I'd label that movie as a pilot's procedural. I loved it, too. Glynnis Johns is beautiful. So, is Marlene Dietrich. Performances are sincere. Another film I'dI recommend is "Fate is the Hunter" with Glen Ford, too. It's the story of an FAA investigation into a plane crash, told mostly in flashback. The movie's good, the novel is excellent. (By Ernest Gann, one of the best authors of pilot stories). It's much deeper than the film.
recently on Turner. Fascinating to see how Hitchcock evolved from a more theatrical style to American Movie idioms.
A hoot to see the Dietrich scenes M. Kahn adapted for Brooks' Y. Frankenstein's Lily Von Schtupp.

...that's what Ronnie said.
But that movie is 81 years old.
There are plenty of old movies that suck too; they have just faded away over the decades, luckily.

I'll see your TCM and raise you, Criterion classics, a strong DVD series.
Some very good short features hidden in the black beauty movie extra features, that I plan to check out, no interest in the movie, Thank goodness for a library card, because I only watch movies once anyway.
Buying all that stuff would be out of the question, yet I have stacks and stacks of records. Funny world, isn't it.

Not unusual to find good movies of any age.
I am always surprised at how a quality silent movie can draw you into a story, yet uses a completely different approach to story telling than modern talking movies.
Perhaps the good poster is letting time sift out the dreck and has no similar quality filter for modern stuff. Because, we all know movies are better than ever , and are your best entertainment value. Perhaps these movies resonate because of his age when they were new, like your favorite pop music is from your formative years.
I can't see movies as the only product that has evolved to be worse through the years,i think the craft has clearly advanced in the stories they can tell. But there is no accounting for taste.
I upgraded my film knowledge from classic series of DVD's from the library, and recently became a member of a film house. I now can go to movies where people break out into applause as names come on the screen for the opening credits. , a good producer, director, and even quality secondary contributors, designers, camera , might bring the joy.
I am learning. I now check the credits at the end of movies, and find a lot of second unit directors and such are getting their names on enough good stuff that I recognize the names.
Not that this matters, but I was always bummed when Jane Wyman showed up in the cast, just not my style , man.
I like older films myself but there are good modern films. Jane Wyman was hot for sure.

Jane Wyatt, yes, she was pretty.
Loved her and that show! I watch the reruns on Netflix or is it Prime?
