We love old movies.

It didn’t happen overnight, it’s kind of a life-time love affair. The love of art takes many shapes and forms. But the love of old movies is a singular expression of art that is both active and interactive.

Active in the sense that it is dynamic - not static. Interactive in the sense that it enables the viewer to be a participant emotionally and psychologically. The color or use of light, the movement, the music, the drama and the cinematography are vivid and demanding.

There is a caveat to the last statement. It assumes we are talking about a well made film.

Why We Buy Old Movies
We buy old movies because in many ways these films are synonymous with quality. That quality is a common theme that runs through the values, the culture and the decency of the messages of these movies - as well as the level of acting skill, production and camera work.

There was less dependence on technology and a greater focus using simpler tools more effectively because there was less technology.

Consistently we see an elegance in the characters, visiting a bygone day of self respect, self reliance, and integrity. Character itself is an integral component of the social fabric throughout the entire genre, in a general sense.

Overall, the more we re-watch and review these great old films, the more we see simple goodness, virtues that count and a concept of trust that is rare in today’s society.

As a norm, there is subtlety versus blatant expression, tough love instead of violence, kindness instead of deception.

The underlying message often includes a lesson stemming from a moral dilemma and a choice between right and wrong. There is always something to stand for in contrast to being against everything. There is also a common thread reminding stand up for those things that we believe in.

Opportunity To Teach Kids
We believe that there is still a great opportunity for the elder generation to instill many of these principles and concepts into the minds of our younger generation. This can be accomplished through sharing these films on a regular basis as a family entertainment experience - followed by a family discussion.

Often times, when my middle daughter was 3 years old, it was a joyful experience watching a Laurel and Hardy movie on cable together. Kids get it. It’s a great way to teach and have fun and it beats the heck out of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

We look forward to your feedback, your questions and comments. Let us know what you like, what you want and we’ll integrate it into our blog and have a blast doing it.

Buy old movies and share them with your family, it’s fun. The kids will love it.
