re: Are older movies truly better?

some of my favorite old movies:

1. The Apartment
2. Godfather 1 and 2
3. Chinatown
4. Hitchock's movies
5. One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
6. Taxi Driver
7. Lawrence of Arabia
8. Bridge on the River Kwai
9. On the Waterfront
10. Greatest show on Earth


old but not too
Shawshank, Pulp Fiction

There are plenty more oldies that I can list that are better than recent ones. Like a previous poster said, old movies had originalities. They also have good acting, directing, stories.

The majority movies today are more dumbed down for the masses. They're are more profit driven as appose to creative/intellectually driven. You can see movies todays are one of many things:
1. high budgeted with filled CGIs
2. sequels, prequels
3. remakes
4. sex driven
