A few years ago a 19-year old remarked to me that he wouldn't want to
watch a movie that was made before he was born. Which I suppose was in
1980 or 81.

But at that age, nor would I. (Not that older movies were available
then -- there were no videotapes.)

Older music is easier to explore than older movies. Already when I was
19 there were LPs of transfers of 1920s and 30s jazz readily available.
That was how I discovered Billie Holiday, Bix, etc etc. when at college.

As you get older you find time to explore both back and forward in time.
