Movies You Wish You Could See With Fresh Eyes....

Like, in the context of the time, rather than through the jaded eyes of modern times.

For example:

The Wizard of Oz: Seeing the transition to colour in a time where colour folm was still in its infancy would probably have been pretty cool.

Alien: By the time I was old enough to really watch the movie, I'd seen just about every surprising part imitated or parodied. I appreciate the impact it had, but my reactions were kind of dulled by knowing what was going to happen. Similarly:

Jaws: Also parodied, plus everyone knew the Jaws theme by the time we were like, five. In fact, when I see the title screen, I smile and think of Airplane.

2001: A space something something: Ground-breaking effects.

One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.� --John Rogers
