Ha! First, let’s not forget. Grant was a “movie star”. But seriously, he was a star from a time even before I was born.
The difference probably has to do with the difference between people who grew up during the ages of broadcast television, cable television, video rentals (prolly add PC video games here), internet entertainment, and internet ‘television’.
If you grew up in the age of broadcast television you watched everything or went outside.
As an aside, I was talking to an intern at work. Somehow movies were mentioned and I guess I cited a quote from Pulp Fiction (1994).

Me: Oh? You haven’t seen it? It’s a great movie.
Intern: I don’t watch old movies.
