Old movies, especially the ones where directors had the freedom to create what they wanted.

Oh, I don't have a strong preference. The main difference is that older films have been through a filtering process and most of the bad films have been forgotten.
... most of the bad films have been forgotten.
Unfortunately good ones too, lost culture in both cases. share
The point is that if someone watches a film from, say, 1959 it's likely to be something like Hiroshima, Mon Amour or The 400 Blows or Some Like It Hot. Those films are not any more or less representative of 1959 than is Revenge of the Virgin or Terror in the Midnight Sun. But nobody's watching those films any more.
One day, contemporary films will have been 'filtered' in the same manner and most people will only be watching the cream of the crop. That's just how it works.

shareOlder ones. Pretty much a lot of stuff made before 2016 is better written and better acted in general.
