Never fear, it seems all hope is not lost for the youth of today.
My nephew (17 years old) is on holidays and asked me for some movies he could watch.
Gave him a bunch which included Kubrick's THE KILLING.
He loved it! I was shocked, but it eases my mind a little to know that a good filum can still be appreciated even if it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of todays "blockbusters".
