Possibly, as I like Lee Marvin. Don't get me wrong, all the actors in these old movies are top notch and mostly far better than today's bunch. It's just that, despite that [and the fact that the storylines are generally good], I find that the films themselves come across as rather 'dated', when viewed in a modern home-cinema system, especially if they're in B&W...
I guess it's just one area where I prefer modern over vintage!:)

Its a good print.. Not that old but survived well. Ok its not going to blow you away, visually or soniclly but the quality shines through. Was a very sucessful film. Marvin won an Oscar, when they meant something and the film was nominated for quite a few too. 1965 I think, Jane Fonda was gorgeous too
Completely agree with all of that, especially female movie stars or that era looking very attractive. It was a time when men were men, and women were women - and embraced their femininity. Unlike today's scruffy, dishevelled 'she-males', walking the streets, posing as 'women'...:rolleyes:
It was also a time when film stars behaved like film stars, and unlike today, you had to earn the title of being a 'celebrity'!
However, you're right, generally when I sit down to watch a film I like to have some visual and sonic 'fireworks', so a good action movie, which shows off the effects of the home-cinema system hits the spot. In that sense, I've always been somewhat of a superficial bastard!:eyebrows:

You want a sexy Jane Fonda? Then check out 'Barbarella'. A very French take on sci-fi. Maybe a bit dated now, but IMO Anita Pallenberg is even sexier.
You want a sexy Jane Fonda? Then check out Roger Vadim's film: 'Barbarella'. Typically stylish French take on sci-fi; maybe a bit dated now, but has some interesting concepts - and IMO, Anita Pallenberg as the Black Queen is even sexier. :)
