agreed. some movies, regardless of how outdated and old-tech they are, stand the test of time all on their own either by setting the tone for a genre or just for being cutting edge thinking at the time.
"Them" is one that comes to mind for me. Although that one could surely be done better visually now, the original was just masterful in its own right as to stand up to all comers even all these years later.
dont tamper with perfection.
