I’ve been looking for some old films to watch online and I’m looking at
- On The Beach (1959)
- Patton (1970)
- The Great Escape (1963)
- The Guns of Navarone (1961)
Those last two inspired parts of the video game series, Metal Gear Solid. In Metal Gear Solid 3, a lot of films get mentioned by characters throughout the game.
On The Beach is one I heard about because Alex Jones was talking about nuclear war earlier this year, and he showed a scene from that particular film. There’s a newer version of On The Beach but I’d always go for the original, or better, read the novel it’s based on.
Recently I watched 2 old Soviet films
- Amphibian Man (1961)
- Only ‘Old Men’ Are Going To Battle (1973)
Some links
The Guns Of Navarone (this one costs $ on YouTube)
Only ‘Old Men’ Are Going To Battle, black and white version
Only ‘Old Men’ Are Going To Battle, colourised in 2009
It’s disappointing that many films are 48 hour DRM’d and cost $4 or $6 despite not being restored
but…
