The challenge with watching older films is the same as reading older literature. One has to consider the time period in which something was created and appreciate it from that point and see how it laid foundation for the creation of the new items.

For example Godfather cannot be interesting in comparison to the whole genre it spawned, but one can see the how it influenced things to come.

One can also just watch a film with a particular idea in mind, such as looking at some of the effects and see how they were done in comparison to today's CGI methods.
