I have this fear
I am hesitant to watch old movies that I remember are good.
I always thought Cape Fear, the version with De niro, was a great movie.
Tried watching it about 3 years ago, and looked like it was filmed with someones camcorder.
I remember the first 3 star wars movies, when I saw them originally come out, were awesome.
Anything newer and I think they stink. Afraid to rewatch the old ones and see that they sucked as well. Of course what I thought was good 40 years ago might not be what I think is good today.
I can sit and watch Jaws (the first one) anytime.
Favorite movie of all time.
Quint, Hooper and Chief Brody are the best bad mixture to have on a boat fighting for their lives.
Honorable mention: Marty, White Heat, The Sting, Cool hand Luke, Midnight Cowboy, Grapes of Wrath, Outlaw Josey Wales, Money Ball, Forrest Gump, The Godfather 1&2, The Hustler, Young Frankenstein, Search for the Holy Grail...a few others where if it's on....I have to stop and watch.
