Unfortunately, younger people have become "jaded" and no longer see the classics as, say, you, me, newb, or neverending see them. I'm the same with Alien. I don't care how many times I watch it, I get sucked right in to the atmosphere. I can say the same for a few movies. And I feel that's also the reason that it's been quite a while since I've seen a horror movie that has affected me that way. Today's movies are too focused on how much gore they can show, and the hell with atmosphere. I'm all about atmosphere, I don't need a lot of blood and guts, or a creepy monster (although "monster" movies are my favorite of the genre) to scare me or make me jump, or whatever.
