From someone who claims to be a film aficionado this is very disappointing. You truly have no sense of film as an art-form. As Stephen already pointed out, far from being fake, Goldfinger actually won the oscar that year for its sound. i.e. it was, in the view of the Academy, the state of the art at the time it was made.
Film is indeed meant to be immersive, but clearly you're working to a different definition of immersive to the Academy, BAFTA and just about everyone else. Film is meant to do more than engorge your realism factor. It's about finding new ways to tell interesting stories and examine ideas. And, in point of fact, without the work of sound editors on 1960s films like Goldfinger, you wouldn't have the sound production you so love on films today. The art is in a constant state of development and innovation, and classic films remain classics because of their achievement at the time as well as their contribution to the development of the art. If you don't understand that, you're no sort of film fan at all.
