Speaking of remakes, I hear they are making a Back to the Future remake staring Justin Bieber... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The first one was fucking terrible, too. I recently caught the scene where Gecko has just dropped the bomb on Buddy, and Buddy and Daryl Hannah's character were fighting in the condo. Talk about bad acting.

Thanks, now I know you are a retard.

You have to take into consideration the time the movie was made. Some people who have never seen the original star wars make the same comments you do, "pshaw, the acting was el terrible." Try watching another fucking movie from the 70's or early 80's and compare them.

Most of the classic and epic old movies watched now the acting is "terrible" to todays standards or when taken in context of the current generation.

This is kind of silly, actually extremely silly. Lumping in all acting from a time period as terrible? I'll list just one movie from your specified time period as a reference point:

Apocolypse Now! (1979) - Martin Sheen basically deconstructs onscreen.

Edit - Second inclusion, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) - Jack Nicholson is absolutely amazing in this portrayal, one of my favorite and probably his best works as an actor.

To add to what Kraftwerk was saying, just watch any of Akira Kurosawa's movies from the 50s (Stuff like 7 samurais, the hidden fortress) and be amazed by the acting. Its the type of movies that takes a long time to age, the camera work and acting is so good that without the black and white to give it away i wouldnt have trouble saying these movies were filmed much later.

Toshiro Mifune is one of my favorite actors across all genres. Watch Throne of Blood if you get a chance, I love what he did with the character of Macbeth in that film.

Ohhh, I like your taste. Both of those films are fantastic. Toss in The Deer Hunter and you have a good weekend.
