In Reply to: Are old films for old people only? posted by usafwso on February 5, 2008 at 22:07:09:
As many of us here recall I am sure, old movies used to run on local tv channels, especially late nights where one could find a treasure trove of classical Hollywood. Or just run into them by accident. So those of us who grew up in those days, it was inevitable you would see those old films. Now things are very different, since there are no local stations running old movies, only Turner Classic Movies, which is great if you've got it and seek it out, but which young people probably don't typically have access to, and don't necessarily seek it out if they do ("what, those OLD movies?"). Kids aren't randomly exposed to old movies like they used to be.
