You are so right!!! I wanna hug you for saying that!! LOL
I'm always thrilled when I hear about younger people like yourself who appreciate the older movies...
And you are SOOOO right about YouTube, etc.....just think of what it was like whan I was growing up, in the late 1940' and early 1950's!!! prehistoric, right? LOL
But all we had then was movies and the radio.....then TV came along....I can still remember the first time I saw it!!...OMG........then the movies started to suffer as people wanted to stay home and see it 'free'.......of course that 'free' included tons of commercials, just like today!!!
So now, with stuff avaiable at literally the press of a button, what will the next generation experience? nothing but 'i can get what I want when I want it'........which is nice, but still not very fulfilling!!!
That's when the movie industry cranked up their technology; 3D, CinemaScope, & so forth and so on..........these were all really thrilling things; I LOVED 3D movies and never missed a one!!!
and Cinerama????? OMG if you ever get a chance to see it, it has been revived recently in the bigger cities......it's INCREDIBLE to say the least.......
a HUGE CURVED screen that really did, literally, put you into the movie..and the first time,I think, where we hear sound in STEREO..along the sides of the theater, etc.....one sequence in THIS IS CINERAMA was at the Vatican, I believe, and there was this famous boys' choir..well.....you heard them singing from the BACK OF THE THEATER, & then as they walked along, you heard them on each side of the theater, then finally saw them when they came in front of the camera....and the now famous roller coaster ride was also incredible.
Gee, how I do go on!! LOL.........but your comment brought back so many memories of things I truly loved and that I am sorry future generations will never experience.........
anyway, glad you like the 'older stuff' & I hope you keep watching different genres, etc., and find more stuff to love!!!!
