Another movie from that era that I thought was great but stunk upon re-watch about a year ago is the Paper Chase.

Yes.

I hated that they gave Kingsfield a heart.  That was as bad as making Frank sympathetic on MASH.

Keep my fucking archetypes pure, you barbarians!

It's treacle.  It always was.  Those movies do great at the time but in retrospect, ugh.  People will not watch Titanic in another decade except to laugh at it.  All of Tom Hanks has a 2 generation shelf life.

Another movie from that era that I thought was great but stunk upon re-watch about a year ago is the Paper Chase.

Another one, and this is heresy, is Rosemary's Baby.  Man has that not aged well, although this can be said about pretty much every Mia Farrow movie.

It was a bad time for movies.  Like now.  These hemlines rise and fall.
