“I again refer you to Hollywood’s Golden Age, where actors kept their clothes on, didn’t swear or have sex on screen and held the attention of audiences by the superior quality of their work.

Many old films are watchable today. Some are considered classics. I doubt most of today’s films will be worth watching in 50 years. They aren’t now.”

Agreed - the ONLY films I watch are Film Noir, Westerns, and other films old films available on youtube.

Me, too. I love watching the old black and white movies from the 30’s and 40’s. I watched two with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne the same day as the Golden Globes was on. I thought, and my husband commented, that we were watching people with real talent.

We’ve tried to go to more recent movies this past year, and I’ve tried to watch some on Netflix and Amazon, but they just leave me “meh”. I’ve given up and gone back to my DVD/VHS collection.

My favorite actor of all time: William Powell.
