When I was in college, Mae West and W.C. Fields and The Marx Broethers had a revival among students my age. I remember seeing some of these movies for the first time at revival houses and loved them. Seeing some of these now (not all), I realize that they certainly have their moments but are hardly classic and some are not even good films. I feel that way also about Cecil B. DeMille's second version of The Ten Commandments which I probably saw about five times when I was ten. On the other hand, everytime I re-watch Sunset Boulevard, Citizen Kane or Wizard Of Oz, they get better and better. FRANC
-----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Hershenson Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 8:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] A possible conversation starter MoPo has been quiet of late, so I thought I would ask a question that has been on my mind of late, as I have been re-watching some classic and not so classic movies. I find some of them are about as great as I remembered them, but others seem to have changed drastically (or maybe it is I who have changed) because some are barely watchable at all! So my question is, are there movies you once thought classic that you later re-watched and found they are not nearly as good as you had once thought? -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 29 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
