I agree with everything you posted except Chinatown. I've seen it twice now, and I just can't understand why people consider it so great. Maybe I don't get it?
But what you said about modern movies is spot-on. That goes to my point about separating wheat from chaff - there are still good movies made today; they're just buried beneath a mountain of trash.

logical fallacy (i forget which one). there was plenty of trash in the past, but it's forgotten. we remember recent trash b/c (1) we lived through it and (2) it's recent in our minds. we forget the trash of the past b/c neither 1 nor 2 apply. hell we don't even know about the vast majority of the trash of the past b/c it's lost in time and you can't even get it easily
