    I love these old crime thriller movies. Relaxing on a Friday night reminiscing about the old days, wishing I could go back to a time ,where people had self respect..

      i'd rather stay here where indoor plumbing is a thing but just reminisce and also realize people were the same back then as they are now just movies couldn't show it so it looks like they were better :P still awesome movie!

      @@supposedly1-2 your response is very wise and insightful. When people think the past was preferable to live in, I'm sure they envision themselves only as one of the lucky ones who didn't die from childbed fever before antibiotics, or see half their 12 children die before age six, or get hauled out of bed and lynched in the middle of the night, or wind up in an iron lung before development of the polio vaccine, or have to pay protection money to the Mafia so the windows of their family's delicatessen weren't smashed in, etc. etc. The good old days were good for the lucky ones, and the privileged ones.
      And I'm with you on the indoor plumbing! And electricity! Also, I don't miss the wringer washer I ran my arm through up to the elbow when I was five, when my mom had to run back into the trailer to tend two younger siblings who were suddenly screaming. I just couldn't resist touching those rollers, and poor Mom had to run back to a screaming child OUTside, now!
      Like you said, people were just as bad in the old days as they are now, but movie censorship boards prevented showing it. I grew up in a quiet, poor, decent, teetotalling, lower working-class family in Florida. My maternal grandfather was a lifelong church deacon, lovely man, who grew citrus to give to us grandkids. My paternal grandfather up in West Virginia never set foot in a church, was a coal miner, bootlegger, hell-raising, wife cheating, father of 11 kids. (Fortunately, NONE of his kids followed his example.)
      Decent and indecent people can exist in the same family, in every era. People have always been free to choose which they want to be. Are more people choosing to be mean, greedy, controlling, and dishonest in their dealings with other people now than in the past, or are they just the ones who get all the attention and media exposure?

I am very intelligent, i don't need a history lesson. I'm speaking on how the old movies made me feel. You all come on here & f**k up a wet dream. Have a nice day🙋🏾‍♀️ P.S. PUT YOUR PICTURE UP. AT LEAST IN OLD DAYS DISCUSSIONS WAS DONE FACE TO FACE. NOT FACE TO 💻. 🤷🏽‍♀️ you can't tell me how i felt back then. It was more self respect. I know what and who was back then, i lived it.

Movies and especially Acting nowadays is garbage in my opinion. Sometimes I’ll come across something good but... Love the humor here! Anyone else agree on less blood n gore, sex and dirty comments is actually refreshing? The special effects in our time is out of this world but sometimes too much of it can ruin it... enjoyed immensely!!! Thank you for posting!!!

    I liked the reference to the censorship on how long people could be seen kissing nonstop.

      The code was no kiss longer than 3 seconds. The studios liked it because it shut-up those who wanted "realism" in the love scenes and like the EPA's miles-per-gallon lies, it "saved time" over a period of "x" years.
