TikTok and those consuming it can rot.

Some of us will continue to be reading War and Peace level works and watch "lengthy" movies.

There a stock of older movies though, bigger than I can watch in a lifetime, and that's just considering the good ones.

War and Peace is hardly a stellar example of good literature, though. Tolstoy in general is very overrated, and W&P especially so.

Sure, that can work.

One would want to watch also contemporary works.

Based on some totally idiosyncratic personal assement maybe.

Not in any canonical ranking (or in mine).

Nah, I try to actively avoid those. But there's a substantial number of good contemporary world cinema too.
