when i was really young, i was all about mainstream movies anyway, and i never really stopped watching them, but when i was 17-25 i saw so many classics and foreign films that now i focus more on the forgotten gems and the popcorn movies i was too young or not alive for. not only are they entertaining, but also they help me unwind. i can appreciate them for the story, what if anything they brought to the genre at the time, etc., but i can also turn off or at least down the part of my brain that i engage the classics and foreign films with.
