I definitely identified a range of classic movies from “Holy shit, I love this” to “I can appreciate this as Important Cinema but it’s not for me.”
In the first group I’ve got movies like Casablanca, The Philadelphia Story, and The Lion In Winter.
I recently watched La Dolce Vita, and that is very much in the second category. I can see how so many movie tropes came out of it but… it’s just a little bit too much for me.
It’s worth going back and checking out old movies because some of them are legitimately fun to watch, but it’s also okay to just acknowledge a movie’s contributions and move on.
