Netflix streaming has some pretty good movies, so I've been enjoying a lot of those, especially classics from the '40s and '50s... I love the clothes, and ooooh the hair. Everything is just so human... not only the lack of electronic clutter, but the relationships. I love the relative lack of snark and cynicism. Katherine Hepburn has a biting wit, but it's just so clever, and does not have that reflexive, shallow meanness of so much "wit" these days.
I'm not trying to say that I would always rather watch these old movies. There are plenty of new movies (even ones chock full of technology and shallow meanness) that I enjoy. It's just a refreshing change, and Netflix streaming doesn't have a lot of the choicest new movies.
