I have found a few notable exceptions, mainly Kubrick films, but my general rule is that I'm probably not going to like most anything made before 1970.
Are you kidding? You have a lot to see if you think old films aren't risk-taking. And even for more "conservative" movies, many are still great. You can say The Adventures of Robin Hood or The Public Enemy are "conservative" but they are still great films.
And trust me, there are plenty of innovative films before 1970.
