kind of like how when you sometimes watch an old sitcom you used to enjoy and now it just feels stupid and dated
i loved murphy brown reruns as a kid - watched some again a year or two ago and thought it was terrible
so we'd be picking from a pool of movies which were considered substantially better in their own time than they are today
i guess since that could be somewhat difficult we could broaden the scope to best movie that is no longer part of the cultural zeitgeist
ie you could not say back to the future because that's still big and big cultural reference, same with ghostbusters etc - would really need to be something that was big in its era and now is basically gone
and obviously if this is a stupid cat please let me know and i can choose another
