a person who claim to be big film buffs but they only seem to know who either, Speilberg, Scorsese, Kubrick or Taratino is, and no one else?

I just met five people like that tonight. It was pretty sad.

I get those, with the exception they are very keen on obscure movies only from now. They have an ear for the movies now, but nothing really pre dating 1995. That is mainly the description of the crowd I know who are even into movies. My being into old movies and world cinema more seems like a variation of what is important, and that to is watch all the movies the mainstream public knows, including the indies of today.

Well anyway, yeah I've met those types of people.. but what about the ones that claim to be big film buffs and then they only watch the cult films? It's like watching one genre and that's it. Ah well..

I'm no snob, but you should have seen these people go on and on arguing with each other. They were talking like they were the ultimate authority on movies. One guy actually said that people who argue with him are ridiculous because they don't know more about movies than him. That's why I said it was sad.

I am a snob about movies! At least I will admit it and smile about it. Doesn't mean any class of movies is away from my appreciation if done well. Die Hard rules!
