I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.
I became addicted to the movie-going experience in the 1970s, when I attended multiple screenings of films such as 'Chinatown', 'Jaws', 'Star Wars' and the original 'Rocky'.
I was not into sci-fi, science fiction, at all. I was into some of the old pirate films with Burt Lancaster and stuff. I liked them.
You have to go back to the '30s and '40s to see a film that's any good.
I am a big fan of movies from the '70s.
My film collection is all oldies.
My favorite movies are from the '70s.
I did a film called 'Black Dynamite' that was very, very funny. That seems to be a film that's kind of a cult classic.
My cinema - the '50s, '60s - is different from the cinema today so I thought that it would not be bad to show that kind of cinema where we could dream.
I hate Danny Kaye movies.
Kids today don't watch a black and white movie.
In the '80s, I loved the movies of the '70s. Also I remember loving Klute [1971]. I loved Jane Fonda. Actually, I auditioned for the last movie she made before she retired for a while, Stanley and Iris [1990], which Martha Plimpton got.
When I was making my first films, I was very interested in Hollywood B movies.
One of the reasons you take a role is because it's something you always wanted to do, from going to the movies as a kid. I always wanted to do a 1950s movie, for example. And I got a chance to be in 'Peggy Sue Got Married.' I would have taken only one line of dialogue to be in that.
When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family's car at the drive-in.
I love the genre of early Hollywood. It gives you everything.
My entertainment was going to the local dollar movie theatre on the weekend, where I watched old black and white movies. If you wanted current movies, you had to drive to the big city.
I grew up in the seventies, and films for us were larger-than-life, masala entertainers.
I like the Stooges. You know what movie I saw that I sort of discovered late was Jerry Lewis in 'The Nutty Professor'. I really liked that.
I do like a lot of the '70s movies. I love Charles Bronson in 'Hard Times.' All my favorite movies where ones from yesteryear. The '70s was a good era. I love all those.
I love '80s horror.
A lot of early Misfits song titles are inspired by old B-movies, which were my Popeye's spinach when I was a kid.
I'm a Turner Classic Movies guy. That's it. I'd much rather sit here and watch an oldie than anything new.
The angel said, "I like black-and-white films more than color because they're more artificial. You have to work harder to overcome your disbelief. It's sort of like prayer.
Films made in the spirit of the past continued to be made.
