One of the most obvious facts I confirmed while watching the top 251 movies of all time is that I tend to prefer recent movies to older movies. That's not to say there aren't good older movies or that there aren't bad recent movies. I just feel advances in technology and more refined modern actors make today's offerings generally better than those of yesteryear.
Below is a comparison of movies by decade and the average grade given to the movies in that decade. I'm not surprised that the grade for the 1930's is decent because I know I enjoyed a few of the classics from that era, but the 1960's being as strong as they were compared to the poor showing of the 1940's and 1950's is noteworthy.
