Absolutely. I think the films you grow up with have far more impact fo you than future generations will view them.
When I was a kid and saw Dawn of the Dead - it was the goriest film made and well-reviewed - and I still enjoy it.
But if you show this to a Walking Dead fan who is 25 - they'll laugh at Dawn of the Dead. Sure some will look to the ideas/themes but it just doesn't hold up with modern eyes.
Don't even start on audio - the prices just keep going up and up. More than my salary - I've been on a 2 year wage freeze - a pandemic - but without a cost of living increase you effectively get a pay cut.
