I love that Gen Alpha won't even get this reference because the movie came out 30 years before they were born.
Charlie Chaplain was dead long before I was born but yet I've still seen The Great Dictator.
Yeah because we had limited entertainment options growing up.
If we had endless short videos and memes on glass rectangle, we wouldn't know about Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton either.
Bullshit. I only know about how awesome Buster Keaton is because of memes. Memes are how I even came to know about the Great Dictator. Before that, I thought Chaplain was only in silent movies.
How is Chaplin related to Trump?
I said the great dictator. Trump is far from great. :P
..yet! 😄 I bet it's not that far away until he describes himself as so
Not part of Gen A (I think this whole generation thing is a bit pointless anyway), but what is the movie?
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (also had a decent tie-in point and click adventure game in 1989)
The entire trilogy are some of the greatest movies ever made.
Do not speak of the others. For they are shit and probably a money laundering scheme.
Is it? Lost Ark and Crusade are great, but Temple of Doom? I remember not liking it that much.
It launched the career of Quan Kế Huy, and gave young me my first ripping someone's heart out scene.
Fair enough :D
Fate of Atlantis slapped when I was a kid. Probably worth a ScummVM revisit.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Sean Connery being seen is the giveaway. Pretty sure that was the only one he was in.
Ow, my age
An absolute classic.
Shame they never invented anything to store such treasures on for later generations. Nobody but people alive in the 80s will ever see this classic gem.
The original star trek released 40 years before I was born yet I still absolutely love it :3
