Although I'm young, I dislike most of today's movies. It seems a modern movie cannot be made without graphic sex, drugs and unspeakable language (seems in most movies the 'F' word in almost every sentence uttered is a requirement), and horrific violence. (wouldn't hold the attention of today's audiences probably without these elements)

The last movie I went out to see was 'Mrs. Doubtfire'.

I love classic movies such as are seen on Turner Classic Movies. I used to watch them with my grandmother, as a child when she babysat me

I've gone back to them and love them. (I've become quite an authority on stars and movies from the 'Golden Age'.

My all time favorites are Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, James Steward and Gary Grant. They don't make them like that any more. (Brad Pitt? Johnny Dep? YUK)

Couldn't disagree more. Look at the list of the top 20 films of the 2010's again. Where is the graphic sex, drugs, or unspeakable language in those movies?

Around half of them have some violence, granted, but it's quite sanitized. Hardly "horrific".
