Maybe, but at the same time I feel confident enough to make the claim that I did that movies prior to the 1960's are largely dated as they are too different (and not in a good way) from more modern standards.
or put it this way... I would be surprised if my overall opinion changed much from where it is currently had I seen another 50-100+ pre-1960's movies.
but as far as me pre-judging those pre-1960's movies... while I have admitted I have not see many pre-1960's movies I feel I have seen enough to get a overall feel of them. that's how I formed my general opinion that I largely avoid seeing movies that are older than the 1960's as a general guideline because I feel movies are too different (i.e. too dated) from more modern standards.
sure, it's possible I might find a gem prior to the 1960's that slipped through the cracks but, even assuming that's true, I doubt I missed much. because the general goal/point of watching movies for me is to find movies I want to re-watch from time-to-time as the years pass (i.e. movies I would score at least a 6/10) and preferably find movies that stand out from the pack (i.e. movies I score at least a 7/10). while I think finding some 6/10's would not be too difficult, it's the 7/10's and higher that I can't imagine there is much (I am confident it's very little(which is another big reason I avoid pre-1960's movies)) pre-1960's that I would personally score a 7/10 or higher especially given the fact that only 188 movies out of the 2,225+ total movies I have seen straight up which is only about 8.5% of ALL movies I have seen that I scored a 7/10 or higher and pretty much 8 out of 10 of those are from the 1990's to date.
perhaps therein lies the problem .
You have decided without seeing many [pre-1960's] movies them that you will not like them.
You have pre-judged them.
You are prejudiced against them.
