These are older movies with "legs" in 2017.

Might be worth comparing to the ones from 2015 or the ones from 2016.

Curiously, as of this writing, my average rating for films over ten years old, 2.8 stars, is about the same as my average for others, 2.6 stars. That's despite the fact that I never excuse outdated standards and I'm indifferent toward film history. So I would have expected a larger gap, with newer stuff rated higher (n.b. I edit ratings upon rewatching, when needed--I don't log rewatches themselves--thus you may have trouble if you check my math years from now). My overall average is 2.7, incidentally.
