It is clear that people enjoy the excitement of seeing a movie for the first time. Go into any video rental store or onto any video rental website and it isn’t hard to figure out that the heaviest consumer demand is for new releases. Yet the movie fan has options when craving that excitement and need not always head straight for the new release aisle.
My goal with this blog will be to highlight quality films from the past that may have fallen through the mainstream cracks. I will be choosing movies made before 1980 that will still be a fun watch for someone who isn’t well versed in earlier movies. In addition to my opinions and some background info I will inform you of DVD details and also mention how the movie relates to more recent films that may be more familiar, providing a link from past to present.
Check in next week and we’ll get this underway.
