What is poor about the majority of the Hammer films? Some of the films are not great, but they are not all poor by any means. Some of the Hammer films, I think, are great. For one, the Hammer (1958) Dracula is excellent.
The Hammer films are what they were meant to be, entertaining. You want to watch something poor, watch a Ted V Mikels movie.

I love the old Hammer films yet when I re-watch them I realise how poor they actually are. But surely the film being classic or not is not necessarily the question...it's what went on around them that gave you that classic feeling...if you saw a movie with your first date or your parents took you to see the film or a bunch of pals. It's the memories that surround that film. One film I love is When Eight Bells Toll - it's got a great story, great actors...yet it is not well made, but I saw it with my dad all those years back and I still enjoy the film...but it is by no means a classic. But then we can look at a huge amount of Bogart films and stuff from that era...can we say they are classic? Certainly better films have come along and better actors and directors...surely it's the memories that surround the film? This never happened to the other fella. -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Hershenson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 13:35 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.
