Answer for question 4557.

[Error: unknown template qotd]Gosh, this is a tough question! Well, I haven't had the time to fully get into it, but I really love movies from the 70s. There's a feel, an aura to them that you don't get anywhere else. It's where directors like Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg cut their teeth doing their earliest work, to some their most important work. And of course it was the time of the great police and crime movies (Dirty Harry, Serpico, The Outfit, Duel, just to name a few). I wouldn't say movies will never reach those heights again, but it'll probably be a while before we get another epoch like that.

Besides those films I mentioned, I'm also a big fan of Miyazaki's The Castle of Cagliostro (1980).

I really like Castle of Cagliostro.

Before I knew about it, I saw clips from it in a laserdisc game in an arcade but didn't know where the animation was from. You know, like Dragon's Lair, except with mostly scenes from Cagliostro.

Yeah, Cliff Hanger! Here's a youtube playthrough (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QRCwPFoHcg) of it on the original arcade hardware. I'm kinda amazed at all the stories I find of people being introduced to anime through that game.

Ah yeah! Thanks for the reminder.
