I disagree. Films in the last 20 years have been becoming more and more timeless, the only that dates them are bad special effects and stuff like cars and clothing styles.
Though special effects are reaching the point where they do not look fake anymore, and photorealistic enough to last forever, or not to have glaring bad spots in them.
In addition, film and picture quality has become crystal clear since the mid eighties. Unlike color movies in the 50's,60's, 70's where the cinemtography looked dated and terrible. Like when you see it you know exactly about the time it was made.
