I will appreciate old movies as I did, even though I always take the opportunity to trash on the actors.

I still like Arnie's old movies, for example, and they're still very fun experiences to be had. But I loathe Arnie ("screw your freedom" was nothing but another straw on that camel's back, though at least he stood by Chris Pratt).

De Niro actually comes off as very contrived now, possibly because he has played himself in every movie for just...so long now. I still will appreciate "dumb" comedy like Meet the Parents and his role in it, even though he's an absolute piece of shit.

For me, the old movies are still good regardless of what I think of the actors. What has changed isn't my appreciation for those old movies (perspective may have, however) but rather my appreciation for the actors moving forward.

I've never been much of a theater-goer. I made four recent exceptions; the Star Wars trilogy, because I felt I had to be there since it was my childhood, and the Super Mario Bros. movie because again, I felt I had to be there since it was my childhood. I almost made another exception for Suzume, but it was difficult to find the time.

Now, on the other hand, I won't ever see a movie that stars the likes of De Niro or Arnie, and certainly not in theaters.

So though I refuse to let old movies be tainted by the actors and actresses, I will never, ever be rushing to a theater to see these asses again.

As an extra aside: Fuck Seth Rogan, and also Patton Oswalt. These two make every character into themselves. I sincerely believe that Donkey Kong was the worst part of the Mario movie, and that's only because Seth Rogan can't act worth a shit and has to include his stupid pot-addled laugh in every character he plays!
