So no 8M. 

Well, we could always take the DeLorean to January 2017 and pull the adjusted figures...

Dr. Zhavigo is a pretty cool movie.

 

Watched while I was younger but fail to see it become one of the biggest hits ever.

That would be the path to the dark side.

Aight, I know I'm drifting further off-topic, but I gotta pimp ZHIVAGO just a bit more, for those on the bubble. You've got one of the greatest visual directors ever, paired up with one of the great all-time cinematographers, working off a stellar (and Oscar-winning) script by the legendary Robert Bolt. Music by Maurice Jarre. You've got a great screen beauty, Julie Christie, you've got Omar Sharif, Ralph Richardson, Alec Guinness. You've got it all shot in epic 70mm -- and I mean epic, this is back when they'd get 10,000 extras for the crowd scenes.

 

 

Tele, you're old age is showing, these youngins don't know who or what any of that is.

Ooh, nice seducing Tele. Don't know if I've ever even seen a screen cap from it, but those all look mighty lovely. Hopefully I can make time to watch soon. Would be nice if there was a re-release/special engagement in theaters soon. Seen a few classic epics the first time that way like GWTW, Lawrence, and Bridge on the River Kwai.

Oh hell, another pimping post on Zhivago.

Plus the background of the forum is snowing... the perfect setting.

 

It doesn't help that someone a couple pages back posted the Amazon link AND I'm currently building a cart there (realized I didn't even have Avatar yet... what a great bundle these two movies would be)

[MovieMan89]

Bummer, looks like last year was an anniversary year for it, so I'm guessing I probably did miss some kind of theatrical engagement.

Anyone here watch Macbeth?

I watch every version I can get my hands on. Not sure if I'll get to catch the new one in a cinema (but do hope for it)

[Lordmandeep]

One thing I like about Dr. Zhavigo it likely the best Anti Communism movie ever.

I watched it today, and tought it was pretty good (9/10). Don't get why it didn't get a wider release... It had Fassbender, good reviews and a pretty action packrd trailer going for it, I tought it could do well.

AIRPORT was so big, one of the funniest movies ever was made just to parody it.

And it spinned off a whole lot of sequels. Ah, thoses were the days...

Yes, this past weekend. The atmosphere and cinematography were wonderful. Perhaps too much so as visuals often swamp the dialogue, which wasn't as an impactful as it should have been. I don't think this film gets us any closer to understanding what motivates Macbeth (admittedly a difficult thing to do).

Some of my favorite movies are old 30's/40's rom-coms. Especially the Grant and Hepburn ones. Your post may describe some from my gen, but not me.  And in all honesty, I feel like it more describes the teens of today, not the twenty somethings. 

Bringing up baby is my favorite with those two, The dialogue is snappy and filled with innuendo. With the depression on poking fun at rich people and slapstick was the way to go. They haven't been able to replicate successfully since. Its a zeitgeist thing I guess.

I worked with a lot of twenty something and they don't get a single movie quote pre 1990. They unanimously told me they haven't watched anything old. You must run in a cultured circle. Y'all read Austin and Bronte too?

Ooh Wuthering Heights 1939 They lay heavy on the violins on that one
