It seems to me it is the sexy films of the late 1960s that have aged the worst of all. They are not really sexy by today's standards, and they are so massively dated in their values that I would say most of them are almost completely unwatchable (although there are of course exceptions).
For example, I know that dress is worth millions, but have any of you tried WATCHING The Seven Year Itch lately? Let me know what you thought of it!
