What's the situation with classic films? Are they becoming a niche?

I'm 30 and I live in Spain. The generation of my parents grew up watching classic movies on TV. Everyone over 60 has heard about Cary Grant, Gary Cooper or Burt Lancaster, and they've probably watched them in more than a couple of films. But my personal experience is that most people around my age have no idea of who they were. The are plenty of exceptions, of course. I have many friends who also like classic movies. I don't think it's considered cool, though. When I meet people who see themselves as movie buffs, they're usually more interested about new releases and modern classics; or perhaps some obscure independent film. And with zoomers, the situation seems pretty depressing. I taught some lectures about film in my local college, and most of my students haven't even seen Pulp Fiction, or The Wolf or Wall Street. Many of them told me that they didn't watch movies at all, just series (if anything).

So I'm wondering: what's your perception? I guess that in most cases your background is very different from mine, so I'm really interested in your personal experience. Perhaps the situation is not that bad in other countries? Maybe it's even worse?
