Considering you've had 24,471 posts I'd say you've broken that rule 24,471 times, Abe.

No, Abe. I don't. I think it's just easy to look backwards and only see the good while not seeing/hearing the bad. I also think it's easy to hoist up that which is older and not give credit to the contemporary based on something coming first. I don't, for instance, care who threw the first forward pass. I do know, however, Dan Marino perfected it. I don't care that Fran Tarkington (who is a HoFer and a worthy one at that) was one of the first mobile QB's when guys like Elway and now Mahomes perfected it.

I don't know what any of what your saying has to do with sharing a greatest American movies of all time list that was released in 1998....you fool!

There are a lot of great older movies, many of which are on that list. We should appreciate them while acknowledging other great movies when they come around. Don't hate em cuz they're black and white!

It's just a masturbation fest to old shit for the sake of it.

The Hitchcock movies are decent. Godfather 1 and 2 are great. I also liked Fargo, Close Encounters, and 2001. Goodfellas ofc.

It's a list of historically significant movies in America. It was created in 1998. It was voted on by film nerds. Shocking that it would be biased in favor of movies made before the new millennium.

Film nerds bathing in the nostalgia. Preening their pretentious feathers. Most of those films are ancient and the bias existed back then in 98, too.

This is a bad take King.

I stand with my lawyer.

I loved a lot of movies, but they were products of their time.... And should stay there as historical relics instead of revered as some kind of timeless masterpiece

Good movies are good movies!
