That's true, i am with you on 3D movies. I've been waiting for it to die out like it did in the 50s and 80s and everything in-between, but to no avail. I guess my problem with theaters i go to is that it seems it is managed by people who don't care much for movies, and the experience is not very personal i suppose. Y'know, i'd have some sort of social movie club, a suggestion box or something, a themed thing or so, they did do a members card but stopped it after a year, also they should do special offers and competitions that aren't just through facebook and twitter. I know i sound like a dinosaur but i don't use those things. Anyway, sorry if it seems like i'm going off on one!

That's a shame about that place that closed down, how sad! I'm sure a theater started by you would be great, a real lover of cinema! Is there anything you'd change about modern day theaters that you'd implicate in your own?

hi AJ, i took your poll. There should definitely be more old movies at the theater. There's one theater 35 mins away from my town that shows some old stuff but i guess that's only OK if you live there. I hope you're well, keep reviewing!

Bio:
Acting and Film have been the two major interests in my life since I was a kid (when I'd go to the video store and rent Labyrinth over and over wishing I could be Sarah!). I've done many plays and a bit of extra work for student films. As you may notice from my lists, I love older films mostly. At the moment I am working on writing a book about films of the 20th century, which sounds like a broad topic, but I have narrowed it down, I just don't want anyone to steal my ideas, so that's all I'm saying for now. I am at the research stage, so I'm viewing a variety of different movies from every decade (mostly American movies, though.). Right now I'm watching a lot of 20s movies. I always welcome suggestions of movies to see, but it would really help to get suggestions for 20s movies right now. Thanks for reading! Additional Notes: I try to be very organized, for example: my favourite actors are in order of birthday and my favourite movies are in chronological order. Please note that I only rate movies I've actually seen. I do not use the want to see or not interested buttons. Also, I'm working on writing a short review of every one of those movies. This is how I normally rate: 5= Excellent, one of the best movies ever. 4.5= Fantastic movie, only one or two flaws. 4= Great movie, not the best, but I enjoyed it. 3.5= Good, but it could've been better. 3= Okay movie, not bad but not good. 2.5= So-so movie, somewhat good, but mostly bad. 2= Not a good movie. 1.5= Horrible, but not one of the worst. 1= One of the worst movies. .5= Worse than the worst movies, don't see this.

Prince of Darkness

Prince of Darkness

 (1987) 3 days ago via Flixster

Prince of Darkness had a lot of nice special effects, it was creepy, the ending is ominous, and it was really different. The only problem was that the story is hard to follow, and the characters are all kinds of scientists, so they kept talking in this scientific language, which didn't help me understand what they were talking about at all. I think in the end I got the general idea of what happened, but I would have liked to have gotten some more of the details that the characters were figuring out. So, it was pretty good, but it could have been better.

Iron Eagle

Iron Eagle

 (1985) 17 days ago via Flixster

An exciting teen adventure action film. I really enjoyed it. Sure it's more like a youthful fantasy than something that would happen in reality, but that's what I thought was fun about it. I loved the ending too. Others may see this as cheesy, but I say see it anyway.

After Midnight

After Midnight

 (1989) 17 days ago via Flixster

I really didn't understand why the students would go to this creepy professor's house in the first place, let alone tell him a personal story like they did. The only thing that saves this from being horrible is the gore and the ending.

The Watcher in the Woods

The Watcher in the Woods

 (1981) 17 days ago via Flixster

I think it's fair to say that Disney was just trying to jump on the horror bandwagon with this movie. That totally brings down the integrity of this. At least it is based on a novel. Although the story is somewhat chilling, only kids will be scared, and not by much. It might be better to read this instead because the story is good. I just wish this movie was better.

Beverly Hills Vamp

Beverly Hills Vamp

 (1988) 17 days ago via Flixster

Luckily I found this online and didn't rent it. It's a stupid comedy movie that seems to be a sort dumbed-down version of movies like Once Bitten and Vamp. Except with no horror, really. The actors seem to at least try, and there are one or two laughs, but I don't recommend seeing this.
