I still watch silent films

Some movies benefit from their age.

The spaghetti western trilogy from Ennio Morricone hold up really well. They use exaggerated techniques that you don’t often see in movies today, but still effective cinema.

Yes I do! I love watching old films because we can peek into the past and see how things looked back then, how better the acting was, etc. I just love them. Makes you feel like you've gone back in time. 😊

I've been watching the old black white Dark Shadows series for quite awhile now. At least 2 years! I watch one episode every morning and am on something like episode 743. There's over 1,300 episodes, so I have a way to go! It's my morning ritual.

Many of the old films, even the ones that never became classics, were extremely well done and had stars that actually had talent. I still enjoy them.

Dated is a weird term. Classic is my preferred.

Besides. Arsenic and Old lace, starring Cary Grant, is nearly 80 years old and still as funny now as it was back then.

Some of the greatest movies in the history of cinema come from the silent era all the way to the 1950s and even to today.

"Dated" is a poor term to use, IMO.

Want to fully understand the role of the director? Watch older films . They are responsible for the great visuals and sounds.

Quality films from then are being shown again for a reason, and are often worth seeing.

I guess it depends on just how dated it looks. Some old films have special effects that haven't aged very well which makes it really hard to enjoy.

I'm doing a deep dive into the old black and white movies on youtube - I love this stuff

In some ways. There's a lot of 80's movies I really enjoy because of their campiness and storylines, especially in the sci-fi and horror genres. I'll go through some older movies just to enjoy some of the nostalgia, especially old cars (that were new when the movie was made).
