w/ 100% confidenceYou sure about that?
It looks like I'm only a few years older than you so I remember VHS and watching movies on the sly like that too. It was around my 20's that I started getting interested in classic and foreign films and have been collecting them on disc since the early 2000's so I'm up to around 500 in my collection. There are still good movies but they do seem to be fewer now than there used to be but there's a hundred years of classics out there to explore.I always forget about Goodfellas but I have seen it so many times that I think it just floated above all others on my list. I remember renting on VHS back in 1990 when I was 11. My had on our account I could rent R rated because she did not want to go to the video store with me. I rented all the Segal and Van Damme movies and as well as many other not kid friendly movies with one of those being the awesomely stupendous Harlem Nights.
I think I could probably come up with a long list like this, I look at your list and it is filled with such variety and great movies from many eras and genres. There are so many more movies that I have watched over and over again and with movies becoming more and more crappy, I find myself watching more of the old stuff. Cinema is dying and the new crop of actors and actresses are not good coupled with poor writing on so many films.
I think the main difference now is how we watch them. With access to large TVs and high tech sound systems and access through the internet and on disc the need to actually go out to the theatre is less necessary.cinema is 100% a-okay

i find it by far the most funny one, people can be fart face about it who cares lollol Temple of Doom? I love that one, even though it's one of the least liked by most of the first three Indy films.
I think it's the funniest one.
theaters (at least in the US) are in a bad spot right now because the general population is a lot less interested in going to the theater post-COVID. it’s no mystery that peoples’ preference to just wait for streaming has impacted programming decisions at the major chains (even my city’s one single-screen theater has fallen into safer programming practices, which kinda sucks), & there’s been a proliferation of movies made by committee, but the health of cinema as regards quality/artistry has not waned by any significant measurement.I think the main difference now is how we watch them. With access to large TVs and high tech sound systems and access through the internet and on disc the need to actually go out to the theatre is less necessary.
