Apparently, we used to.

How about none of those movies was produced after 1962?

Heroes used to be about more than how many bad guys you shoot in five minutes, and morality in movies wasn't something that was in the film solely to be violated at best, mocked at worst.

As just one example, I'm glad a lot of fans like the new James Bond. But I kind of miss the first one.
