I don't view a lot of 1941 films, so I don't know.  I'd leave it to the
people who do know, such as the people writing the articles about such films.

And if anything, you're really arguing for no year limit at all.  Yeah, it's
from 1941--and that makes little difference in the existence of lots of
people who haven't seen it.
