It's true there are not many good films about these days, the other night i was looking for a film to watch and i have thousands to select from, i gave up in the end, too many rely on over the top special effects, i would say the 70s were the new Golden age of films there were great films coming out every week.
The movies you listed would have been prime time television movies in the 60s and 70s. The industry is saturated with horror, sci fi, animation and action overdoses, but sorely lacking in offerings with any substance.
I'm not so much interested in substance as I am with entertainment value.
Don't get me wrong, I love more than my share of action overdoses, but I really like good who dunits and someone mentioned "The Usual Suspects" which I thought was well done--something to make you think. I enjoyed sci fi and horror as a kid, but can't seem to get into them anymore.
I think there is something in the water that the woke drink that dissolves all the creative directing, intelligent editing, empathy, character development, story telling in them. And pretty much everybody in Hollywood that is making movies now are far leftist woke folk.Ive come to realize no one makes good movies anymore.
When was the last time we had a instant classic movie? Maybe once upon a time in Hollywood. That's it.
Even all the big huge popular movies that come out now are forgotten in a year. Like a avatar movies made boat loads of cash but no one quotes them, no one talked about scenes or characters, or anything. Everything now is a popcorn flick quickly forgotten.
Look at the movies that came out in 1984 alone.
Beverly hills cop
Ghostbusters.
Indiana Jones and the temple of doom.
Neverending story.
Gremlins
Revenge of the nerds
Adventures of buckaroo banzai
The last Starfighter
Star trek 3 search for spock
Friday the 13th the final chapter
Repo man
And dozens of more movies people still talk about and love today, that came out 40 years ago.

Modern Hollywood truly sucks. 1 year had a dozen classic movies enjoyed by hundreds millions of people years later that became part of our culture and still enjoyed even foday. But today? They can barely make 1 movie a year that people still consider great 3 years later let alone even really remember.
This year Ive been to the theater once to see mars express. Only other time I'll go is to see the new alien movie. Other than that there is nothing else I want to see in a theater.
I miss the days when studios would give someone money and say "go do whatever you want, just bring me more money back".
There are a very few in the 'horror' category that we ever appreciated. "The Green Mile" is of that genre and is really a good movie. "The Stepford Wives" is a classic. (At least the original. The remake was ridiculous.)
The big screen has also been replaced by home screens which really detracts from the cinematic experience as well. There is a lot to be said for being totally immersed in the experience with no external distractions. It can be replicated at home, but it isn't common.
Music has gone the same way computer driven bullshit and half dressed Women cavorting about the stage who can't sing.
Spot on, last time i went to watch a film on the big screen was saving Private Ryan that would be 1998 and Gladiator, i wanted to watch both on the big screen and i was not disappointed.
We...agree on something.

Then my work here is done!
Great, i don't have anything so advanced but it's what you play on the system that matters.Not in my home. I have a massive, custom-built professional music system where music stays alive. Actually better than a live concert!
But is it good music or what we have for the most part these days bland garbage?
