I've watched a lot of movies in the last few years. I recently inherited about 500 movies from my grandfather and have done a lot of movie watching. In a lot of the older movies, the acting was cheesy. Even in the classic movies. They were great movies (story line, named actors, cinamatography and all), don't get me wrong, but the acting wasn't that great.
My personal favorite movies that were acted the best are the Shawshank Redemption, and the Count of Monte Cristo. I believe that the performances of each actor in both movies were tremendous and definately some of Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, Jim Cavezel, and Guy Pieces best performances ever.

There are a lot to pick from, but I would have to list Serenity amongst them. It was not only well acted, but well thought out and well written. To get the most out of it, however, you need to watch the TV show Firefly, as Serenity was basically a condensed second season. Another one would have to be Evelyn, starring Pierce Brosnan (not an action movie). This is a very touching and well written / acted / etc. movie from the "based on a true story" category. Both are excellent movies that I think didn't get nearly the publicity they deserved.

Acting was just more theatrical, not better or worse. Actors and directors were still making that transition from live theater to film, and the standard hadnt ben set yet. you can see a very clear change to more "real" styled acting when the 60`s hit. That being said, as far as American movies go, check out Terrance Malick..he takes guys like Richard Gere and makes them into real believable people...and call me bias but I thought Bjork was excellent in Dancer in the Dark, not to mention Catherine Denevue...hell, anything shes in...
