Profanity, general debauchery and flatulence just don't sell like they used to.

There used to be this thing called "acting". Pity it's so hard to find these days.

Go watch a movie like “Doctor Zhivago”, then try to go watch any modern-day movie.....and you will know why.

No kidding, they sold quite well in the '70s and early '80s. The problem is that all of the creativity is long gone for the most part, and many of the movies today are simply remakes of older movies, if not in name, then in spirit. There are only a couple of comedies made in the past decade or so that I might watch more than once in coming years. But go back 30-40 years, and I can see myself rewatching movies from that time such as Airplane!, Blazing Saddles, Caddyshack, maybe even Animal House, some of the Monty Python movies, and a few I'm forgetting.
