@@The_ZeroLine I guess you could make a point that the past seems more glorious to some than it should be: after all, in 1939 alone, something like 365 movies were released, whereas today I doubt a third that number make it to the screen. So just by sheer numbers, the best of Old Hollywood seems to shine brighter than today's best movies; simply more of them. But you really don't have the actors you had then and modern screen writers may have the potential of greatness but the studio demands to turn out junk overwhelms the talent. In other words, I am politely disagreeing with you.
