Thread Name: BS: The 100 greatest movies of all time
Subject: RE: BS: The 100 greatest movies of all time
I've always thought the "........won't mean anything to anyone under......." argument very odd in the fields of film, music, etc.
They are in permanent forms, so can be come across by anyone of any age, in the shape of videos, screenings at 'historical' cinemas, on discs, etc.
I've heard of Beethoven, who was a bit before my time......thanks to discs etc.
Etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.
It's like when journos say, once the last survivors of World War 1 pass, we won't know anything about WW1, simply because no-one who was there is alive. I always wondered why no-one's ever heard of Julius Caesar.
