I don't want to be a bummer, but films from the 90s are already 30 to 20 years
old. That does not count as modern anymore.

I think Western producers have been reliably producing utter crap since 2016.
There are some honorable exceptions, but as of late we are only getting films
about licensed IPs, reboots, remakes, and not-so-thinly veiled propaganda. It
is creative bankrupcy of the worst kind. Most of  the few movies that are
better than that are cheap popcorn fun rather than genuine great pieces.

Asian entertainment is not following this trend, so they are one of the few
bastions still holding.

In any case, I am of the opinion that there are enough movies already made.
There are more filmed hours than I could watch in my lifetime. A meteor could
splat Hollywood flat as far as I care, because I would just keep enjoying old
films from the silent era to the 60s anyway.
