I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.
I became addicted to the movie-going experience in the 1970s, when I attended multiple screenings of films such as 'Chinatown', 'Jaws', 'Star Wars' and the original 'Rocky'.
I was not into sci-fi, science fiction, at all. I was into some of the old pirate films with Burt Lancaster and stuff. I liked them.
You have to go back to the '30s and '40s to see a film that's any good.
I am a big fan of movies from the '70s.
My favorite movies are from the '70s.
My film collection is all oldies.
I did a film called 'Black Dynamite' that was very, very funny. That seems to be a film that's kind of a cult classic.
My cinema - the '50s, '60s - is different from the cinema today so I thought that it would not be bad to show that kind of cinema where we could dream.
I hate Danny Kaye movies.
When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family's car at the drive-in.
Kids today don't watch a black and white movie.
I grew up in the seventies, and films for us were larger-than-life, masala entertainers.
I love the genre of early Hollywood. It gives you everything.
In the '80s, I loved the movies of the '70s. Also I remember loving Klute [1971]. I loved Jane Fonda. Actually, I auditioned for the last movie she made before she retired for a while, Stanley and Iris [1990], which Martha Plimpton got.
My entertainment was going to the local dollar movie theatre on the weekend, where I watched old black and white movies. If you wanted current movies, you had to drive to the big city.
When I was making my first films, I was very interested in Hollywood B movies.
One of the reasons you take a role is because it's something you always wanted to do, from going to the movies as a kid. I always wanted to do a 1950s movie, for example. And I got a chance to be in 'Peggy Sue Got Married.' I would have taken only one line of dialogue to be in that.
I like the Stooges. You know what movie I saw that I sort of discovered late was Jerry Lewis in 'The Nutty Professor'. I really liked that.
I do like a lot of the '70s movies. I love Charles Bronson in 'Hard Times.' All my favorite movies where ones from yesteryear. The '70s was a good era. I love all those.
I love '80s horror.
Films made in the spirit of the past continued to be made.
A lot of early Misfits song titles are inspired by old B-movies, which were my Popeye's spinach when I was a kid.
I'm a Turner Classic Movies guy. That's it. I'd much rather sit here and watch an oldie than anything new.
The angel said, "I like black-and-white films more than color because they're more artificial. You have to work harder to overcome your disbelief. It's sort of like prayer.
