I recently saw ‘Don’t Look Now’ (1973). Good picture, a little slow perhaps by today’s standards but worthy of any movie enjoyer’s time! So this movie was shot in Venice. Venice itself being an already beautiful spot to film even today. The way we get to look in a time capsule of Venice in the 70s makes the movie that much better!
People in the 70s could not in fact appreciate it the same way we do now. Concurrently we also can’t do it for today’s movies. Some movies can only be truly appreciated over time is what I believe. This matter can be expressed in both the movie’s message or, as I did, its cinematography. Hence my question now to you.

Every day, Idiocracy is getting further from absurd comedy and closer to documentary.
Willow. It’s beautiful, fun, scary. It’s full of flawed people being good to each other.
It’s really quotable and has a handful of interesting twists.
Willow has a few great performances. Val Kilmer knocks it out of the park, and Billy Barty is wonderful as the “High Aldwin”.
2001: A Space Odyssey still holds up pretty well both technically and narratively.
Little known fact: the visual effects look so good because they shot the mattes and all elements ON THE SAME PIECE OF FILM. They’d shoot the matte, put the film in storage, build the set, then shoot the scene on top of that.
