Old Vs. New: What is Your Preference for Movies (1 Viewer)

If you have to choose between the latest release and a classic movie, what would you choose? Well, I will usually choose the new movie but sometimes the choice is also depended on the movie itself. For instance, I might prefer The Godfather instead of John Wicks (even though I am a fan of this franchise).

Both. Just because a movie is old doesn't mean its bad.

Honestly I like both, there's been some recent films that have been released that were really good. There's also some timeless classics that I love going back and watching. Heck there's a bunch of films I have yet to see that are classics lol. Some may say that the older films are better, but really it comes down to personal taste.

Old movie does not mean bad, in fact old movies have better story line and characterization. These days most movies focus only on CGI. The only problem I see is their visual quality.

I prefer old movies honestly. There's something about the storytelling and pacing from classic films that just feels more thoughtful..

We all know that the old movies have more soul. Godfather, Scarface, and many more had the stories you don't see in today's movies. New ones look better on screen for sure, but half the time it's just CGI noise. I rewatch classics more than the new movies..

I'm with you, classics just hit different. Movies like Scarface and Godfather had stories that still stick today. New movies look shiny, but too many rely on effects which is not the main thing in a film. I watched John Wick recently, it's fun for sure, but I'll still find myself rewatching older films.

I would in this case, choose both. In most cases, even though a classic is great, sometimes a newer version of the movie can have a lot of changes, but still follow the same storyline. When this happens, I much prefer to check both out and compare.
