You know how, today, we take inspiration or look up to “classic” films like The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption? Well, what did people in the 80s/90s look up to? 70s movies? Black and white movies? What were seen as classics back then?

    I can’t help you because I was too busy finding good stuff of the the 80s in VHS.

    Old movies were not “boring” or more “classic” but it was as hard to find as regular movies, so there was no point focusing on a specific decade. And since it was difficult to find for most people around me, we were looking for 80s movies.

    Also you had to live next to a friend who had a good collection of movies. In most countries it was difficult.

    I don’t know if I make myself clear, but if you had the choice between the new Spiderman and the Godfather to please your whole family, which one would you choose?
