Every era is different

One problem I personally have with the films from the 30's or 40's is their music - they always start with incredibly loud music. So I automatically turn it down as it starts rolling.

A problem? Well, I don't approach old Dutch painters with the same ruler as 20th century artists, so why should movies be any different.

The manner of their speech is also something that will grow on you as you begin to delve into the epoch.

Certainly I did not grow up watching these films. I got to know them much, much later, but that did not stand in the way of my enjoying them.
