All the good movies were made years ago. Nothing but dreck anymore.

I watch TCM more than anything else. Yesterday was David Lean day.

“Bridge On The River Kwai’’

Great movie, Alex Guinness, what and actor and Sessue Hayakawa probably two of the best actors in movie history.
Best scene, in my opinion is when “Colonel Saito''(Hayakawa) slaps the little Geneva Convention rule book from "Colonel Nicholson''(Guinness) and says "Do not speak to me of rules, Colonel Nicholson. War is not a game of Cricket!''.

The movies were ruined by groupthink. We need lots of people who think differently with lots of imagination to get new and exciting material. Movies are usually boring unartful wokey retreads or comic book silliness redoing the original to be politically correct.

There is no challenge or different ideas anymore. It is not acceptable to think outside allowable thought.
