Movies without The Old Ways Were Better
If you're tired of The Old Ways Were Better, these are the movies in our catalog that don't lean on it. Traditional, ancestral, rural, or pre-modern life is portrayed as inherently better than modern alternatives. Progress is corruption, not improvement. The past is idealized as a golden age.
