Yesterday I watched two old movies: Sleepless in Seattle and You've got mail. I have to say it again, they are just so classic! Those pure love, classic songs, different filming ways, old actors..etc. Even though their stories kinda always lack of logics(that's why they both earned pool ratings). But for me they are therapeutic and warming, always feeling better after watching them.
As for the reason why not sci-fi movies? Because watching old sci-fi movies is excruciating since the technologies or effects showed in the movies aren't cool and exciting anymore. Plus the definition is also way lower, which makes them even harder to watch! For instance, the classic ones: the first 3 episodes of Star Wars, for me they are more like documentaries or something you watch them just for the sake of learning culture, they are not entertaining at all. But I think there is an exception, which is 2001 Space Odyssey. I have to say this one is genius, it's a 50-year old movie(released in 1968), but it predicted exactly what the technologies would look like nowadays. When the movie released we even hadn't been to the Moon! I really admire the director of this movie, his imagination is beyond words!
