I haven't watched a newly released movie in over ten years, and I don't get cable, so I rarely watch any movies at all. But I do like movies from the 1930s and 40s. I get them on DVD from the library - luckily my library is part of a network, so most movies are available from at least one town's system. I've gone through the Charlie Chan series twice now, and eventually I'll do it again. Same with Sherlock Holmes and any other mystery movies I can find. For some reason, I love the atmosphere those movies had, and now I find that color turns me off - I'd really rather see most movies in B&W.

Same with horror movies. I love the old-time movies, but I have no interest in watching some guy saw his own leg off. That's not horror, it's just gross-out.
