Many venues exist for seeing 16mm. films of the late teens through the 50s in a theatre setting, and a gross approximation can be achieved. In some cases, decent large prints can still be seen; and even discounting for the degradation of age, enough films hold together well enough for most viewers to conclude that there is something more than simply false memory going on here with an admiration of "classic" films. There were skills of lighting, production design, narrative, pacing, etc. which seem to have been lost forever. And the techniques of editing (which _have_ been well-learned by many post-60s film makers) are misused appallingly by most of that relatively talented subset. But with the SF films of the 50s I do have to admit: their link to the time is the major portion of their charm. On their own they do not constitute a quality body of work. Of course, they were not judged to be of much quality in their own time either, so I'm not sure it can be said there is false memory at play here either.
