Some people just don't know how to appreciate it!

Why are so many people belittling this film? It was very good to be able to make a film of this level in that era. Some people just watched this old film with tinted glasses, and some of the comments really couldn't stand it anymore. How could it be? How about using current values to evaluate previous technologies? Then you have the ability to shoot! Don't forget that half of our current technology is left over from people from the past, and we still have to learn from them. Without the films made by people of the previous generation, how could there be so many good films today?

The Great Train Robbery quotes
-
Robert Agar, Screwsman: [referring to the London Bridge Station train dispatcher's office] What's your pogue up there, anyway?
Edward Pierce: Two Chubb keys in that green cupboard.
Robert Agar, Screwsman: What might they be, them keys?
Edward Pierce: Two keys that I happen to want.
Robert Agar, Screwsman: [turns to look at Pierce] We're partners, aren't we? Of course, if you're trying to say that you don't trust me completely...
Edward Pierce: [turns and looks at Agar] I don't trust you at all.
Robert Agar, Screwsman: [smiles and nods] Good.

Robert Agar, Screwsman: [They're at the train station about to do the "Jolly Gaff" to get the two keys] Where's the chavvy?
Edward Pierce: There.
[He nods towards a boy street urchin]
Edward Pierce: He's your son.
Robert Agar, Screwsman: I don't have no son!
Edward Pierce: Louisa says he's your son.
Robert Agar, Screwsman: [snorts a laugh] Louisa! She wouldn't know, would she? IS THAT HIM? He's not my son! He's too ugly to be my son!
[pause, then:]
Robert Agar, Screwsman: What's the sweetener?
Edward Pierce: A guinea.
Robert Agar, Screwsman: [thinks about it for a moment, then:] Well, if he is my son he'll be worth it.
