As much as I hate to admit it, yes. That’s 30 years ago now.
Think of it like this… If Back to the Future came out today, they would be going back to 1995.
🤯
Movies from 1955 were old in 1985, so movies from 1995 are old now.
Red Hot Chili Peppers is now considered “classic rock”
Oofh. Oh yeah, that one hurts.
Time is a bitch. I disapprove of the whole concept.
In before Muzak version of Blood Sugar Sex Magik. :)
Absolutely. It’s from the time when families used to share a single phone! That they glued to the wall!!
Meanwhile in 2025, I’m deciding if I need to wall mount my bidet remote for “anti theft” purposes
1995 was 30 years ago.
In 1995, 30 year old movies would have been made in 1965, and in the 90s we would have absolutely considered movies made in the 60s to be “old”.
So, I’d say yes, movies made in 1995 could be considered old.The plot of Austin Powers revolves around thawing a man who has been frozen for 30 years, from 1967 to 1997. Only 2 years to go before we reach 30 years from that movie’s release.
If Back to the Future came out today, they would be going back to 1995.
Oh yeah. For movies, new only lasts like 5-10 years, then it’s old.
i am over 30 and I consider a movie from 1995 old.
they were still cutting cropped vhs in 1995.
In 1995 I considered movies from 1965 old. So, yes.
I think it depends on the movie
If, after 30 years it still has a lot of cultural relevance, I’d think of it as a “classic” movie.
If it doesn’t, if it hasn’t aged well and/or faded into obscurity, I think it’s fair to think of it as an old movie.
Probably around '95, I would have been watching Star Wars for the first time. It didn’t feel like an old movie to me then and it still doesn’t to this day. Other movies from that same era haven’t aged quite as well and felt “old” to me.
Looking at some of the top movies from '95, some of them are just as enjoyable or relevant today as they were when they released, others feel dated and not relevant to me today.
It’s going to depend on your personal tastes and experiences of course. I can also sprinkle in a lot of platitudes like “you’re only as old as you feel” and “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”
I think there’s also room for some overlap. There’s classic movies that also feel dated. I think some movies can be both old and classics. You’d be pretty hard-pressed to find someone who wouldn’t agree that, for example, Casablanca, isn’t old, but I think that just about everyone agrees that it’s also a classic. Where the line is is pretty murky.
Ah! Old temporally vs. old culturally. Thoughtful take!
Yes.
And I was old enough to remember going to the movies in 1995.
Not by myself, but dad took us to see some.
The mask came out in 95 I believe
Based on when I was young, I basically thought of anything from before I was born as “old”. Not consciously, just that everything from “my” decade seemed modern, and everything else was old.
Even now, movies from 20+ years ago look old, even though I remember them being super new when they came out. The Matrix had aged pretty well, but it defintely looks old. I thought LOTR was timeless, but I rewatched it recently and did start to feel it was showing it’s age (but none the worse for it!).
Should Super Mario Brothers 1 be considered an old game?
It depends whether you’ve ever played the game before (or, regarding your question, whether you’ve seen the movie before).
If you’ve seen the movie or played the game a half million times, then it’s not new to you.
But there’s still plenty of people out there that haven’t seen the movie or played the game you speak of, so it would absolutely be new to them…
It would be subjectively new to them, yes. But objectively it’s still an old game. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, irrelevant or whatever, it’s just old. And that’s fine.
