Today’s American movies are simply copies of the classic ones

Recently, I have rediscovered the American classic movies. After the disappointment of  this month Oscar event, I remembered that, years ago, the Public Romanian Television hosted a program called “Telecinemateca”.  I do believe that most of the today’s movies are just a copy of the old ones.  I would like to mention here some of the classic movies that I saw last month, old movies that I intend to suggest anyone who has some time at his disposal:

1. A street car named desire (1951); 2. Sunset Blvd (1950); 3. Rebecca (1940); 4. Dial M for Murder (1954); 5. 12 angry men (1957); 6. Anatomy of a murder (1959); 7. 39 steps (1935); 8. Rear window (1954); 9. Vertigo; 10. All about Eve (1950)
