Survivorship bias, possible that you just aren’t watching all the shitty ones that nobody remembers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

That's exactly the ones I like! On Saturdays I watch cheesy horror movies from the 80s. But with my GF I watch whatever is rated >= 8 on Imdb and the 8s from years ago are ALWAYS much, much better than the recent ones. Maybe I just don't like the style. All the over explaining, etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

OP replied but I’m chipping in too, I’ve also been watching a lot of older movies specifically the more B list and C list which weren’t successful cult classics and they’re still better than anything new. The low production and low talent C list ones are still cheesy and the performances don’t land anywhere near as well as they could but they feel more genuine and creative than what passes for a movie these days. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
