ICYMI: The original Nosferatu is WAY better than the new one.

I'm a Staff Writer for BuzzFeed, often covering topics like love and relationships; vintage and historical content; food; and anything else the internet is buzzing about.

I can't believe I'm even using this GIF. Silence of the Lambs terrified me beyond anything and I still gave it 5 stars.

I'm slightly torn about which list I'd include Grease on. Yes, it's still a fun movie, but like, did the message of the story really age well?!

"I watched the original Nosferatu (1922) yesterday and was surprised that it managed to genuinely spook me. By the halfway point, I forgot I was watching a silent movie over a century old, and I was on the edge of my seat."

"It's surprisingly very engaging for a movie just about people talking in a room."

"This is always the movie I recommend for people who find old black-and-white movies difficult to watch due to their age."

"It's the perfect mix of intrigue, humor, romance and an allegory of America's ambivalence about entering World War II."

"I am 50 and i saw this for the first time only a year or so ago and I really had no idea it was so good — though it's a classic so that should've been a big hint!"

"Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are hilarious, and Monroe is just magic on screen."

"It's a great movie! The first film to win the 'big five' at the Oscars."

"I'm 34 and I'd never really watched Star Wars properly in all my life, as I wasn't interested in it. I now have two young boys and I decided I'd watch the OG Wars film with them, A New Hope. I found it better than I expected and of course the music is incredible. At the end when they're receiving medals, I felt quite emotional."

"I saw it about ten times when it came out, and now my eight-year-old granddaughter loves it."

"The ending still is as wonderful and hits as hard as the first time I’ve seen it. Maybe I’ve just been lucky with how I’ve spaced out my viewings — and I’m sure the holiday-adjacent energy doesn’t hurt — but it’s remarkable how effective the whole thing remains rewatch after rewatch."

"I started watching it because my wife convinced me, but after 30 minutes, I turned to her and said, 'You know what? This is really, really good!' 

The acting, the singing, the sets and costumes — everything is top-notch, memorable and enjoyable."

"Who hasn't seen The Wizard of Oz? It is literally the most-watched movie in history."

"I was surprised at how good To Kill a Mockingbird actually was. (I had read the book.)"

"I was expecting this to be good (and it is) but I was surprised by how fresh it felt and how much the dialogue popped. It's so entertaining and so good."

"M was incredibly ahead of its time. I remember watching it in film class in college and was blown away by how dark it is — it manages to be so unsettling and creepy by showing you nothing."

"It's remarkable how the jokes and the pace of the jokes aged so well."

"Loved Bringing Up Baby and find it hilarious to this very day — my favorite screwball comedy with two of my all-time favorite acting legends!"

"It's basically the template for every screwball romantic comedy since."

"Technology advancements from the early 90s to now have obviously vastly changed.

There's a scene where they're all excited over a laptop with a 32kb memory or something. Funny stuff."

"The whole thing about the big bookstore VS. the little bookstore loses some of its oomph when Borders and Waldenbooks both went out of business and Barnes & Noble is the last one left."

"They're just a bunch of spoiled brats with no real problems. It's really tough to watch."

"I think St. Elmo's Fire is one of the worst movies ever made. There are simply no redeemable qualities."

"Social outcasts are just punching up when they assault attractive popular ladies."

"Can't really do a movie about an independent record store trying to prevent a massive chain of music stores from buying it these days."

"Given the student loan crisis and all the for-profit colleges that were scamming people and leaving them with worthless degrees, the plot isn't all that funny anymore."

"It's still an amazing movie but from a modern perspective it ends in such an odd place — you never see the fallout of their reporting. But travel back to 1976 and it makes sense because everybody knew what happened next. The impeachment and resignation of Nixon was the biggest story in the world just a few years before."

"Just in the general sense, that film assumes that you know a lot about Watergate — the people involved, the timeline, the details of the conspiracy, etc."

"In a post-#MeToo, post-#BelieveWomen era, there is absolutely no way this movie would get green-lit. Even at the time, it must have been slightly awkward. 

I like to hope there was at least one female in the production who thought 'Wait a minute, isn't this movie kind of saying that all women are insane pathological liars?'"

"It became dated immediately. There is a reference to Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher being happily in love despite their age difference. Ryan Gosling's character criticizes Steve Carell's character's clothing, asking if he is Steve Jobs. In the background of a scene is a Borders bookstore. Within a year Demi and Ashton separated, Jobs died, and Borders went bankrupt."

"And even though we are following the plot lines of both men and women in this film it doesn't pass the Bechtel test. The women are just extras in this movie even though they are portrayed as 'strong female leads.'"

"That movie came out at the perfect time. Then, of course, when the world didn't end in 2012, we all moved on."

"Boy, this movie has some messed up things in it, the more I watched it."

"They basically live-stream revenge porn, and the result: the girl gets kicked out of the country."

"That adult woman made out with a 10-year-old boy."

"I watched as a play in February 2018, just after #MeToo, and they had changed the ending without changing the dialogue. It was marvelous. Now I can't watch the original version without feeling lost."

"Had anyone seen Sixteen Candles in a while? Sheesh. I love John Hughes, but damn, that movie is problematic."

"In Batman Returns, Batman ruins Penguin's political aspirations by releasing a recording showing how much contempt he has for his own voters. I don't think you could sell that plot point now..." 

My pick is When Harry Met Sally (1989). I hate rom-coms, and yet that movie is in my top five of all time.
