That's like saying "I refuse to drink wines older than 2000." Just because it's old doesn't mean it's good. But, some of the old ones are very, very good.

If it's old and people still enjoy consuming it, it's probably good. If it's new and people consume it, it's still unproven. The thing about "classics" isn't that anything old is a classic. Anything that stands the test of time is. Old music wasn't better we just stopped listening to the bad songs. Old books aren't better, we just stopped reading the bad ones. Old movies aren't better, we just stopped watching the bad ones.

I watched Altered States for the first time a few years ago and that one got me more than most modern sci fi. It's a masterpiece imo.

iirc that movie is like a crazy abstract art film, it's surprising that Hollywood was willing to make it

It totally is but it's so engaging! I had trouble paying attention to things like Mad God, but Altered States drew me right in.
