that crunchy vibe that 70s/80s movies have that modern movies simply cannot capture... that kind of quiet empty vibe to em that can be played for either bleakness or a peaceful energy... why do all modern movies (even the great and pretty ones) feel overproduced after watching an older film. what is it I can't put my finger on it but it's there I can feel it

Shot on film

No digital colour grading (today’s films are horribly over processed)

No in-the-computer composite layered scenes with virtual sets etc.

practical sets and effects

hand painted mattes / hand animated vfx

You used the light you had instead of endlessly tweaking it

Sociologically, people stopped going to movies as much in the late 1960s / early 70s because television had really taken off, the era of the ‘tv movie’ started, so studios greenlit a lot of low budget auteur films that had to focus on meaning & relationships instead of spectacle.

8. Pacing.

This is the biggest thing, and it's not even something most people will even realize they're noticing. Movies became more uniform in their structure, as hollywood found the "formula" for a hit movie. It means you lose quiet, peaceful scenes that don't fit into the pattern. That uniformity has done more to hurt the emotional tone of films than any visual effects tricks.

Why Does Every Movie Released These Days Feel Exactly the Same? This Book.

If you’ve gone to the movies recently, you may have felt a strangely familiar feeling: You’ve seen this movie before. Not this exact movie,

In 2005, Blake Snyder released a book: Save the Cat! It discussed movie "beats" and and gave an outline for movie pacing.

That outline has been followed like it's religious dogma for the majority of Hollywood movies ever since. It's enough that you can literally count the minutes in movies and say "ok, here comes the antagonist's big move."

it’s not just pacing but also average shot length (sometimes shortened to “ASL,” but not to be confused with american sign language.) a movie that only cuts every 12 seconds is gonna feel drastically different from a movie that cuts every 2.5 seconds.

[tlbodine]

As someone who's been watching a whole lot of 1970s horror movies lately alongside 2000s remakes, can confirm all of the above.
