I realize that. It's just my opinion that those movies, as good as they were, are of their time. From my perspective, I see many, many current movies that, though as dissimilar as is humanly possibly from F.A. fantasy/musicals, are none the less wonderful, creative films. They're just different-and that's why film is art. What would we have to compare to those F.A. musicals if all were the same, and then how could we judge their relative merits? That's the fun in being a film buff.

I know "Top Hat" is ancient and no one would go see a film like that today. I, too, am a film buff and am frustrated by the lack of choices. Again I was not wondering why movies like "Top Hat" are no longer being made; I asked what happened to elegance and the ability to entertain without gross SFX, gore, and dizzying editing.
Read "Blockbuster: How Hollywood Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Summer" by Tom Shone and you'll understand most of my frustrations. It's an interesting history of how the beancounters displaced the creative minds when deciding which properties to film and release. The book is several years old but even more current today than when originally published. I found it a fascinating read.
