Its like.
Arnie and Stallones action movies, especially the 1980s ones. If those type of films were done now, theyd be shitty like Resident Evil 3. Theres just something about those old classics that just has SOMETHING which you just think "yeah, thats awesome".
Happens with many films. I recently bought a film called Wall Street. Its just got that typical 1980s Michael Douglas feel, and i love films filmed in New York. Mix that with 80s and you have a film i like for the scenes alone. Although the film is pretty decent plot wise.
