I need your opinions on why we remain attracted to old films ....what is the magic about them.Do we enjoy them differently from when we saw them first?
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE NOSTALGIA FACTOR IN OUR LIVES?
please respond with your comments.

The old Malayalam movies are better than the new ones.........old actors...old actresses....old themes...etc...

All of us have a touch of idealism somewhere in our minds. We seek & find it in old movies.

I wacth old hindi movies because the news ones are just a dirtier version of the old ones. Old ones have meanings in them unlike the new ones where the movie's success depends all on some actress prancing around on a beach.

I think we want to watch some movies in black & white than in colour.That's also a reason.We can't expect any movie in black & white now.So we admire older movies,their talent of showing things beautiful without any other colour,etc..

Simple Answer:
They are golden and FAAAAR better than New ones.
For info, I haven't watched a single Malayalam new film released since Jan 2001

We watch these movies because the old movies allow the people to develop on screen, and you their progress. It's more true to life. Rambo?
I don't think so!

I cant believe it....
Its a fashion to say Old is Gold, but in case of malayalam film, I dont think so....
If u do some real comparison, u can see old movies were vulgar as compared to new...
U can see Jayabharathi, Seema in mini skirts and bare blouses(i am serious), but I dont see such things in new films....
Moreover it was really hilarious to see the stunts, where one hero is flying and hitting 10 opponents.
New films(especially satyan anthikad, padmarajan etc...) are much more realistic and theme oriented...and off-course entertaining also...
So, before making a statement, think about it....
