Colorful movie posters hit you in the face everywhere you go. You can\’t watch anything on TV without a commercial touting the latest big cinematic production. If you go to a movie, you will see countless previews of upcoming movie attractions.

We all see them and understand the message. It\’s all about progress and the latest cool technological advancements. But what about all those movies that were made years ago? What are those huge reels of celluloid strips doing while all those people are in the theaters watching the latest action film?

I\’ll tell you what happened to them. They lie abandoned and alone. Bereft and at sea, languishing about in a pile of dust somewhere within the depths of a vault while everyone goes around looking for something better. They are banished to the back of some so-called “film lover\’s” closet while he puts them up for sale on eBay for practically nothing just to save some closet space.

It makes sense. We all want to stay ahead of the latest and greatest. But honestly? There\’s a reason I live in a small town. Why my kids go to a (relatively) small school. Why I still bake cookies for my neighbors every Christmas. Because “today” isn\’t always an improvement on yesterday.

Movies are certainly in that category.

There\’s something beautiful about classic film. We live in a world of CGI animation and set designers that have access to a virtually limitless trove of technology and special effects designed to bring their movies to life. Unfortunately, as has been mentioned more than once by movie lovers everywhere, that\’s led to far too many productions hitting the public market that are heavy on violence and special effects and light on little things like plot and character development.

The great thing about the classics of yesteryear is that when they were made, the film industry in itself was in its infancy. There was a lot of experimentation and flexing of creative muscles. This led to some of the most creative and enthralling movies ever made.

There were no special effects. There wasn\’t even color. The films were in black and white and shades of gray and the better for it in many cases. This lack of technology meant that everyone involved in making a movie had to be a creative, resourceful artist to make that movie come to life. The story lines had more depth, there were more unexpected plot twists, more real characters and a whole generation worth of films that takes your breath away today. Their utterly simple technology makes them better-made films than today\’s hi-tech extravaganzas.

While you sit there enjoying a classic film and being blown away by it, you are taken back in time with all the grittiness, lousy special effects and the wonderful stories, characters, dialog and overall artistry that makes these films into the great classics we still enjoy after all those years and will continue to do so for many years to come.
