Why are old movies better than new ones
Film critics argue old cinema defined as 1929 to 1955 held fresher ideas and wealth of talent. In the 1930s to 1940s, many concepts felt new, with prolific output like 459 films in 1939 versus 150 in 1969. Proponents say remakes rarely match originals and future renaissance may occur.
