Best to leave OB to his rom coms, high school and made for TV/streaming movies Bet he's older than me too !

l like plenty of the newer stuff but as a avid movie buff my interest in it go right back to the days of silent films and the emergence of Hollywood.

It's a channel that deserves to succeed and certainly offers an alternative to the generic unimaginative US sourced crap Sky churn out.

Just because something is dated according to you does not mean that it dated according to others.

If it's dated its dated - it's a fact not an opinion.
However, unlike OB, some people may not mind it being dated

Being old and being dated are completely different. And the latter is always a matter of opinion.
Some films and TV shows date fast. A couple months ago I watched The Net for the first time in a long time. Last night I watched Con-Air, again first time in a very long time. One is 1995, the other is 1997, the former dated a lot worse than the latter, more than the 2 years release difference reflects.
All this is just my opinion, of course, other people may think there's little difference in how dated those two particular films are.

I know and accept that some people prefer watching stuff, but what I don't understand is the need some have of watching the same things over and over. That would do my head in.

But as with Talking Pictures if you don't like the content then there is plenty elsewhere for you to watch.
