Why are all old films always just a *little* too fast?

Has anyone else noticed this? It feels like any old film from the past, everyone is walking just a little too quick, things are moving just a bit too fast. Is there a reason for this?

Because people playing them back are ignorant of how they need to have a lower frame-rate. Like, it was common to film at 16 frames per second. For the speed to be correct, you need to project it at 16 frames per second. But today 16 frames per second isn’t the norm, so ignorant people just play it too fast.
