I don't get why people think that old movies have more value than modern ones. To be clear I do watch old movies but I don't think that watching old movies is more constructive than watching new ones. And btw what does even classic mean this days, the matrix is certainly a classic now. Would you prefer to not having watched it back when it came out and waiting until now? Also not everything has to be constructive/productive people need to wind down.
