Yes I like the classics too Penny. The latest blockbusters tend to lose me with the complicated plots and sub-plots, constant flashback, flash forwards and loud music. Guess I'm just getting old
I agree I much prefer classics most of the film today just don't cut it for me well apart from the bond films. I also bought con air aswell it's another old film I like going back watching

Not at all. One of the films I've got here (can't even remember which one) is completely backwards. So many critics love it, just because of that. I just don't get it
