Do you get depressed watching old movies?

I feel the same way. I am always aware of when the big stars died like Bogart and Cooper and I know how many years they have left.

No, I get depressed when watching dark, sad, hopeless sci-fi stuff, and dramas.

No...we all die eventually...nothing to get depressed about. How many people who die could say they were in a movie?

No. The opposite actually. No better way to celebrate the talent of passed actors than to watch their films.

For me it's kind of a mix of sadness and a feeling of awe that in some cases these people have been dead for MANY years. I check imdb and find out if some were still alive today they'd be like 115 or something like that. What really gets me is that my dad is 68. Hes a big Encore Western's channel watcher. Before he was forced to retire a few years ago due to a stroke, he would get home from work and eat dinner, and watch westerns until he went to bed. Now he tries to keep busy during the day but still watches them consistently. I imagine they are nostalgic for him and that he probably watched them on tv with his own father, who passed away in the 70s before I was born. I was listening to one of the..I don't know what you'd call it. It was a kind of production logo type thing with music and rainbow colors that pops up before one of his westerns and the music is so somber to me. It made me think man..if I happen to run across this when i'm his age, and considering he'd be 97 i'm sure he'll have sadly passed, I will feel the same way watching it as my dad must feel watching it now. The music will make me feel even sadder.
Ok i'm babbling now. I hope some of this made sense.

No, I only get depressed when I observe talent-less shit.

No, I get depressed watching new movies because they often lack what old movies had.
