Raw Power, I agree with all of them except Gone with the Wind and 2001. The first for being a total snoozer and the second for ending with a confusing virtual drug trip that makes little to no sense at all.

Beautiful camera work for 1968, though.

That's part of what makes it one of those Must See's, IMO. Didn't take away much for the story but I liked watching their simulation of zero-gravity with what they had to use back then.

There's a lot of movies, old and recent, that aren't the best for the stories or the characters but are exceedingly good on the technical side, have beautiful camera work, lighting and mood setting. Some stuff you watch for the technical aspect if nothing else.

I think it's not fair, because most of you know the times, when one went to the movies and there was somebody who played piano, because there was no sound. So you know a lot of old films.
There are so many new films coming out, you have to watch, that I'm glad I saw all the Indiana Jones and the Star Wars Films. And actually these are already old films.

Indy? Old???

You young whippersnapper, if you weren't all the way across the pond I'd beat you with my cane.
