We might romanticize the past now and again but the truth is: we couldn't be luckier to be living in the 21st century. Most of us lead very luxurious lives, even if we don't necessarily always realize it or appreciate it. We have access to running water, reasonable public transport or a car, and the answer to every single question that we might have at a click of a button.
We are lucky even in terms of entertainment that is available to us. We can spend hours browsing the internet, scrolling through social media, playing computer games, communicating with our friends via messenger apps, and binge-watching movies.
Just think about it: whenever our parents wanted to watch a film, they more than likely had to go to the rental store. There they'd browse films for close to an hour, trying to pick out a movie that would be worth their while. Sometimes they got lucky and ended up with a film that was amazing. Other times they frittered away their time.
As for us? We can watch any movie that we want, whether it is old or new, via various online streaming services. That means that the majority of us have seen most classic movies out there. Remembering these movies is not always easy though.
