PLEASE NOTE: there is a major difference between the scale with which modern movies are being judged and the "classics scale" with which the...well...good ones are being judged.

*******SPOILERS BELOW*******

putney swope (downey [sr], 1969)

corners were cut (ADR for everything putney says?!), plot is thin, and there was a great deal of purposefully-gratuitous nudity that made this an embarrassing airplane viewing, but i'd be hard pressed to call this robert downey (a prince) gem anything but. the advertisements are all better than almost everything on tv right now. and the satire is dead on.

modern classics: 5.5/10
