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.

I think most movies drop a bit in IMDb score over their first few years. That might (partly) explain it. Or you just prefer older movies . :-)

Interesting! I didn't know that. Could be both, too :-)

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.

What's a good recent movie I could watch? Today is Friday

Odyssey is supposed to be pretty good. Main complaint I've seen is that it's not as horny as the source material.

Was going to pull out my default recommendation of Oldboy but then I realized it’s 23 years old, which just aged me greatly
