I suppose that's a key difference between us. Like any cineaste, I love watching films from other eras, and indeed generally prefer it. But if that's not your thing, fair enough. Personality comes into play, and I suppose Powell and Pressburger can be arch and strange, but that's what I love about them (including A Canterbury Tale).

Here's a couple of pieces I wrote on The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp and Black Narcissus, which I hope help you understand my love for them a little more. :)
