The point I was making in my post was to explain why so often we hear pointless arguments from people -- young and old -- screaming that movies from their era are the only good ones.
I love classic movies, but I enjoy new films too. I don't ever want to be one of those old curmodgeons complaining, "They don't make 'em like they used to!"

i totally understood your point ..
my main point was that often the "they dont make them like they used to" comes from the shit actors generally used in horror now, compared to the 70's. (and shit music, shit direction..etc)
Since home video - very few filmmakers take the horror genre seiously.
Plus - the theatre going demographic has changed drastically since the 70's. Movies are mostly made aimed at the 15 - 25 year olds. (thus generally less accomplished actors)
I keep saying 'generally' because i am aware that there are always exceptions to the rules .. but dammit - it is true .. for the most part - they dont make movies like they used to - because the climate has changed and there just isnt the demand for quality anymore.
