Some movies really age well. The classics of course (Casablanca, Citizen Kane, etc) are rather timeless and seem to in some ways get better with age. Other films, not so much.

I got "China Syndrome" this week on Netflix. The g/f had never seen it. I thought that it was going to fall into the "uggh" category but I have to say that it holds up quite well. Fashion and hair length aside, it still works as a morality tale with melodrama mixed in (thankfully no grafted on romantic interest). I know that some might have a tough time getting past the obvious anti-nuke bias, but if you can set that aside and instead focus on the real story which is corporate greed and corruption (which I have first-have experience showing that is alive and well in the real world), it is pretty gripping. Of course Jack Lemmon is my favorite actor of all time, and he just nails the role.
