Think about them in the same way that you think about a single image or poster.  Movies are aesthetic, psychological, cultural and communicative designs.  It is interesting though because movies seem to be more dated than most posters.  Because of their nature they have a more difficult time in holding up across time.  They are more reliant on the time when they were created.  May be it is just because of their nature and that we don't control the amount of time required to experience them?
