It's not that I'm shutting them out, it's just that, in my expieriences, I like movies made in the past 15 years more than movies made before 1970, most of the time. I realize this might change in the coming years, but as for right now, I'll stick with the 90's.
I'm actually in the process of challenging myself to make sure every new film I see was made before 1990, just to try to broaden my understanding of classic cinema.
And I forgot to add, another reason that I tend not to like older movies is the relatively basic camera work. I realize that you can't completely blame the filmmakers in most cases considering the technology wasn't available, but I just find films like Magnolia so much more fascinating to watch because of the complicated and flowing camera work. You just don't find this in most classic films.
