All the good movies were made years ago. Nothing but dreck anymore.
I watch TCM more than anything else. Yesterday was David Lean day.
I liked The Gentlemen. Wouldnt win any Oscars but it held my attention but I like offbeat things. I had never watched the series Medium with Patricia Arquette but that also keeps me entertained..kind of creepy, weird, etc.
Negative - it’s just that Hollywood can’t make a really good movie any more. There are other media producers, even indies, that can make good movies. It’s just like music - the Hollywood media empires can’t put out anything good, but there’s plenty of good new music out there. Just not from them.
You will get an occasional good movie in modern times. But most of them are foreign or some special genre made by a studio that nobody has ever heard of . . . niche market type stuff. Outlander, to name one example, is pretty good.
Short films that were better than the Hollywood feature on the same characters/subject:

100% correct!
Nobody can come up with an original plot anymore.
