Just my  , so take it or leave it. Hell, I don't care - I've seen them.  |
I don't know what age group you refer to as "kids", but I'm 30 and love movies from the 1910s all the way up to nowadays. Movies are good today, but they have lost a bit of the epicness of the 60s and before. Spartacus, The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, Planet of the Apes, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, and numerous others are true epic classics. I think the difference between great classic films and todays good films are that we no longer have a long attention span. Most of America can't wait over three minutes for something to blow up.
