I just realized that I think of Jim Carrey's How the Grinch Stole Christmas as a "new movie."
What is a really old movie that you still think of as a new movie? For example, one of mine is The Matrix.
Yo web app devs: if your app has a light/dark/theme setting, please store it at the device level, not the account level. Someone might want light mode on one device, but dark mode on another.
