That’s just not what “old” or “new” mean for media. You could maybe make that argument if the movie was made a long time ago but only released now, but that’s a very rare case. The public has already consumed the media, if it was somewhat popular you might be aware of what people thought about it before you even watch it for the first time, and if it was influential it might even interact with younger movies, possibly leading to you thinking that certain elements of it are overdone or old hat when this might actually have been one of the first works to have used these elements.
On top of that, the general societal context is not that of today, but of when the movie was made - few works are so timeless that this doesn’t matter at all.

Try watching Pink Flamingos
If you’ve anything like the audience of the time it came out, you’ll almost certainly turn it off within about 10 to 15 minutes.
But it’ll likely be new to you.
Highly not recommended…
