Meeting The Past In The Present, best movies from the past

   Movies From the Past:

When it comes to fashion, nothing beats vintage but when it comes to cinema, nothing compares with classics that culminated the
Golden Age of Hollywood into whatwe cherish today as golden masterpieces!
Be it their unique style, exceptional rendition, acting from some of the thespians of American cinema, or flawless cinematography – the quality of classics
remains unmatched to date even after advancements have been made in technology. Watching a classic being screened is an experience
worth raising goosebumps by the sheer magnificence and excellence of that make. However, millennials are not able to thoroughly bathe in the
splendor of classics in their time because of some setbacks.It is either because of the unavailability of rare movie titles or due to generational disparities in
classic movies that make them unrelatable for modern audiences.
Even though movie buffs have found a path reaching back to the era in which these cinematic renditions were born, not everyone
has the ability ortaste to enjoy classics for the masterpieces they are! To cater to such audiences, directors have taken on the responsibility of remaking some classics to better satiate the
present demand. Although not all patrons and connoisseurs appreciate the effort because of their reverence for the original, some remakes have really
been commendable attempts at recapturing the golden past of cinema.

Here are a few examples of contemporary tributes to relics of the past.

ofFrank Sinatra’s role as Danny Ocean in this movie directed by Steven Soderbergh.

piece in the genre of action and drama.

Scent of a women. best movies all time

Remaking the French classic Profumo Di Donna (1975) by Dino Risi, Martin Brest’s Scent of A Woman is a well-deserved remake that
paved the way for the exceptional star— Al Pacino— to his first Academy Award!
The mismatched duo of Pacino and Chris O’Donnell harmonized in the perfect blend of beauty and contrast in the way this movie
offered its gratitude to the Italian predecessor.
