Things That Make You Feel Old. Or Smarter.

Reading a "Best Movies" thread on the GN forums, and realising that the vast majority of kiddies haven't listed any movie not made in the last 2 years. With the notable exceptions of The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, the original Star Wars trilogy and The Matrix (which is still way recent as far as I'm concerned).

And most of what they list is all blockbuster fodder too. Which isn't to say that there aren't good blockbusters, but it's just sad to think that most of those kids probably haven't been exposed to something that's really fucking great, but didn't necessarily make a gazillion bucks, or something that's a classic, cult or otherwise. Or foreign.
