Lately I reach for old movies from 90s and early 2000s. Recently I watched Now and Then (1995) and it felt so satisfying. I had never seen it before, only some scenes many many years ago and had no idea it was from there.
I don't say I don't like new movies but the older ones bring sweet nostalgy and comfort.

This is the very reason i have a dvd collection.

Its like everything is being rehashed to be PC and dumbed down.

What happened to movies that made you think ?
That had wit and repartee in them? Pretty thin on the ground these days.

Altho i do like phantasy and sci fi, i dont like them spelled out to me in all obviousness.

Its like everyone has forgotten how to tell a story without cgi and explosions 🙄

The pandemic allowed a lot of studios to get their economic reset unfortunately.

Lots of decent big name Directors and Actors retired because they could see the way the industry was headed.

Studio heads not prepared to invest in new writing talent.

And because streaming is preferred by a section of society they've just decided to scale down.

I don't give a hoot about modern mainstream films.

Cult classics are, to put in the urban vernacular: "where it's at!"

Go for independent films. Probably a much better use of one's brain.

long time ago.
they chased all the talent out of hollyweird.
its a prerequisite to be a sexual weirdo to be there....

and the creative writers couldnt run away fast enough...

cant wait for another titanic or king kong movie...

Oh god, and the superhero movies that they have run into the ground, talk about beating a dead horse.

Looks that way. All they do now is churn out remakes, reboots, sequels, and prequels, with DEI casts, PC scripts, and zero talent or entertainment value.

Ran out of script writers. There's no one now but woke losers from woke schools. There aren't any talented writers now.

Yes, I’ve been hating movies for about 15 years, it’s always the same Hollywood formula
