I like old movies, sort of old movies, new movies (which I hardly ever get to see when they are new, but that's another story). But every once in awhile I catch an old movie that I did see when it was new, and am amazed at how good it really was.
A case in point is M*A*S*H - not the television series, but the original film directed by Robert Altman and released in 1970. The first time I saw the film, when it first came out, my parents had to take me to see it because it was rated R and I was not yet 17. I loved it then, and I've seen it a few times since, but not for several years now. But it happened to be on last night on AMC after the Academy Awards was over with, and I sat down to watch it.
I had forgotten just how good this film is. The story, the acting, the detail with which it is invested are all simply brilliant. All I can say is, if you haven't seen it, or if you haven't seen it in a long time, sit down and watch it.
Okay, anyone else? Seen any good old movies that you had forgotten were as good as they are?
