Still disagree with last part (Mac/Compac)....It almost sounds as if you're judging by technical qualities?

Not exactly. Many of the films they name (those made pre 50's) were made when film/movies were a new art form. Direction, cinematography, acting, etc have made such huge leaps and bounds since the era that many critics seem to idolize. I don't think it is really fair to compare.
I think a good example is "Road to Perdition." Had this movie been released pre-1980 I think it would be remembered as one of the top 20 greatest films of all time. As it was, it was not even nominated for best picture.

good, discussable points......
Direction - Don't think so.......
Cinematography - Probably....
Acting - Totally disagree........
I still think that 'the story's the thing'. That being said, methinks more great stories from the glory days of the late '30's,'40's and early '50's than any other era.
Don't misunderstand.....MANY great flicks since then...(some of my favorites, actually)...
Perhaps it's like trying to compare different era's in sports.......
