What ever happened to good movies

I liked Deathproof. You hit it exactly, I had a real blast from the past for old drive in movies there. The only thing missing was the idiot who always walked in front of the projector, and the steamy car windows

Alan,

HAHA

I was about that age when my folks decided to show me Poltergeist...
I was afraid of the bathroom for like a year after that...

I should rent it sometime and realize what a fool I was when I was little.... that should be good.

Did any here see "Two on a Guillotine" starring Dean Jones and Connie Stevens. Pretty "edge of your seat" stuff for 1965!

[quote="What made Tombstone so good was that it was virtually true to the actual facts. [/quote]

Well... not quite. The Earps, Clantons, Mastersons, Tombstone etc... all did exist. There was a shoot out, but hollywood (no capital H intended) has taken such massive liberties with their facts, that history has been almost completly rewritten. It seems hollywood does this daily and doesn't realize the impact it has on society. The next movie you watch that says "based on a true story" "actual events" etc... do some homework, dig hard, then laugh as you pick the movie apart.

One that really splits my chaps is: U571 are you ready for a laugh? The first capture of Naval[1] Enigma machine and associated cipher keys from a U-boat was made in May 1941 by HMS Bulldog, commanded by Captain Joe Baker-Cresswell, who captured U-110. There were some 15 captures of Naval Enigma material during World War II, of which the Americans and Canadians carried out one each (Unterseeboot 505 and Unterseeboot 774, respectively), while the British performed the rest. The U.S. Navy did not seize German Naval Enigma material until June 1944, when it captured U-505. The British captures provided critical information for breaking Naval Enigma, so that by the time of the U-505 capture the Allies were reading Naval Enigma routinely.

I do agree however at the lack of quality movie plots coming out. My biggest rant is about the graphic commercials that are aired while my 6 year old is watching cartoons. He goes to bed @ 8:00 so why do we have to watch S%^*& like Saw commercials while the kids are up? F^&*ing hollywood.
