A person misses out on so, so much if he or she refuses to watch films made prior to 1990.
My nephew, who is 21, thinks a movie from 2005 is "too old". He scrolls down whatever online movie service he's currently using and if he sees a date older than 2014 he skips over it. One of these days, if I decide I care enough, I'm going to blindfold him and pop in one of my BDs (maybe Raiders of the Lost Ark) and tell him it's a recent film. If he's smiling after it's over, I've done my job. If he shrugs, all is lost
Just curious if you guys have seen any of these films you seem to so easily dismiss? More than that, the attitude sounds more like not interested in most pre-1970s films in general, as if the majority are too old to be any good. Not trying to "jump all over you"...LOL. Also not trying to read too much into what you wrote, but I have read similar posts all over this forum. I hear it from 20- and early 30-somethings at work. My own brother, who is in his 40s, doesn't care for a movie if it's black and white (which further supports my suspicions he is a changeling left in the crib).
So I will take a moment to stand on my soap box and shout to anyone who will listen. Not to condemn those who cannot see but to enlighten and generate some wonder of new discovery in those who are willing to hear.

The list goes on and on.
Thus endeth the lesson for today.
Great list oildude. I doubt a similar list can be compiled with today's talent. Not even close.
I don't understand either. What happened?
Or this was a joke?
It's dig at Kino Lorber Studio Classics. They won't send replacements for discs that have been mastered incorrectly to overseas customers, claiming it's some sort of "violation" of their license with the studio. LOL. Strange that TT have no such problem.
I think this is the case, but for those with experience, shipping is cheaper on TwilightTimeMovies.com when you order two titles compared to one, correct?
I want to order Count Yorga, Vampire but might just wait until tomorrow afternoon to add John Carpenter's Vampires to the order to save a little in shipping.
Apparently Broken Lance is a remake of the Noir House of Strangers, which is interesting. Dmytryk directed several excellent noirs himself, so I'm curious to see how he transposes the material to a Western setting.
Or, alternatively, it's a Western version of KING LEAR with sons instead of daughters.
Back by popular demand and with new Special Features: Ray Harryhausen and Cy Endfield’s beloved fantasy adventure classic from the pages of Jules Verne!
“Dandy fantasy adventure, done with great skill and imagination, keyed by a fine Bernard Herrmann score, a pip of this kind.”
—The New York Times
“It should thrill the gee-whillickers out of anybody." —Time Magazine
Mysterious Island (1961) – Jules Verne’s sequel to his own “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” – is brought to the screen in spectacular fashion by director Cy Endfield (Zulu) and special effects master Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts), who weave the adventure-packed tale of a motley crew of Civil War escapees and shipwreck victims cast away on a remote Pacific isle. There they encounter the redoubtable mad genius, Captain Nemo (Herbert Lom), and the startling products of his scientific experiments: gigantic creatures of every description, all crafted with that special brand of Harryhausen magic. Presented in a pristine new transfer, with Bernard Herrmann’s superlative score featured as an isolated track.
I ordered my first TT film directly from the website this week. I was surprised they still had copies of Mississippi Burning available. I'll definitely be checking in weekly to the website to see what else is on the slate to release.
