I’ve found a lot of the better comedies from that period (Chaplin, Keaton) to be damn near timelessly good. Art films are hit-or-miss but when they hit they seem, similarly, just as interesting and powerful as they must have been then. It’s the dramas that consistently struggle, IMO, with even the best requiring some serious patience and acclimatization to the time & style to enjoy.
