We always watch AMC or TCM and even the bad old movies are better than what's out there now...why? Characters, stories, NO OVERT SEX or CRAZY VIOLENCE. It's not rocket science.

Well, to make a great agitprop film is a creative challenge of the greatest order. Eisenstein's "Potemkin" came closest, probably, and it was in the cinema Stone Age. And the Eisensteins and Riefenstahls occur very rarely. Thus the current PC crop [crap, rather] is destined to be flops.
