Yup. We rarely watch newer movies. My wife wanted to watch an older "light" movie, and we liked the "Thin Man" movies so I looked for something free on YouTube. I cam across "Double Harness" with William Powell. Turns out it was pre-Hayes Code, and some strategic "hooking up" happened, and ruined everything for a good chunk of the movie. After we determined that ALL the characters were selfish twits, we decided not to watch to the end, as we didn't care about their fates.
