You'd be surprised. I think many young people only watch movies that are new and now, but I am proud to say I have brought a few younger over to the "black and white side" of Kurosawa, Mastroiani, Fellini, Godard, De Sica, etc. Once you see a movie like 400 Blows, High and Low, or La Dolce Vida, it is hard to watch movies again the same way.
