Well you're an extreme outlier. Typically people want age-appropriate content in a language that they speak, or, which at least has subtitles. As you point out, if this is your preference then you can use search functionalities for this purpose.

(The 80's were big hair and shoulder pads, no matter which side of the iron curtain.)
