are old movies ever funny
sometimes, for instance Space Balls.
no, a decade after a movie is made it stops being funny. all movies we currently find funny will suffer the same fate. death is certain. hail satan

for instance, caddyshack. was it ever funny? i saw it for the first time recently and it was seriously painful to watch in parts but other people told me it was funny. other "funny" movies from the 80s and 90s are basically the same way. i coulda sworn that billy madison was funny at one point. but now it's just poo poo to watch. there are exceptions though, probably. i think space balls would still be funny but i'm not sure

is this the fate of all funny movies, or were the 80s and 90s just poo poo. also the 70s and older because all of those movies are weird and not funny

Reporting for shovel mission Sir.
I disagree. I've watched both Caddyshack and Airplane recently, and found Caddyshack to still be funny, while Airplane, not so much. The first half of Airplane is played pretty straight.

Caddyshack is actually funny, OP. Perhaps you have grown into a humorless turd.

Caddyshack is still funny. Ted Knight was a national treasure. Airplane is still funny. It has jokes that aren't done to death probably because there are a billion jokes per second in that movie.

Echoing that Mel Brooks movies hold up and are still pretty funny. Ghostbusters is still hilarious.
