Few older films have the kind of audio content that would really benefit from multi-channel and high dynamics. Chances are, at least for serious films, that mucking with the audio will detract. Further, it opens the door for contemporary music editors to "improve" masterpieces with trendy junk music.

There are, however, exceptions aplenty. One of my movie peeves is with Brit films from the 60s, e.g., most of the early Bond films; with glaring music tracks that seems totally disjointed from sound in the film.
