"Old"?

I hope to tell you that middle age begins at 50, although twenty-somethings may not think so now...they will.

I was 16-17 when I discovered the great silents, and I loved many classic movies before that. When I was in college, it was hip to check out great films, manu of which (such as Chaplin's) were in rerelease at the time.

People just need exposure to them.

OTOH, great art films often have a limited audience of whatever age, whether they were released in 1930 or 2003, so I can't get my knicker sin too much of a knot over it.
