Suggesting, of course, that the oldies were/are still THE best!
It does suggest that the oldies were the best.
In other words maybe Hollywood just isn't making great films anymore, films that have some social impact.

I'm a big fan of Al Pacino who made some great films IMO
The Godfather 2 being one of them and a favourite of mine.

I'm not saying Citizen Kane wasn't a great film, just that film critics are a unique bunch
