I used to be sort of a film buff but I have seen only a handful of movie in the last 15 years. Part of that, first, was projection problems when they were switching from film to digital, from neglected older equipment to poorly calibrated modern equipment. Then it was unruly audiences, and my increasing physical discomfort sitting in theaters, then combined for a while for with some eyesight problems, and then the pandemic. I don't even watch them when they are on premium channels or pay-per-view, one reason being they rarely show them in the full correct aspect ratio (except in the previews, which is very deceptive). So I can't really judge how good the movies have been in the last 15 years or so. I've seen every James Bond film From Russia with Love, in the theater, except A Veiw to a Kill, which I finally saw on television, and, I believe, Quantum of Solace, also on a pay-per-view or premium TV channel. I have not seen the last Bond film, nor do I desire to because reviews said the Bond character had become woke. And Daniel Craig is one of my least favorite Bond actors anyway. There was one great film after the 90s that I did see in the theater that was released in 2005, Pan's Labyrinth. My personal favorite films because of the emotional response I got from them are, in order:

Federico Fellini's La Strada (1954)

Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958)

Robert Rosen's Lilith (1964)

The Val Lewton produced Curse of the Cat People (1944)

There are many other films that I found very entertaining, including, for example, Payback and Conspiracy Theory, starring Mel Gibson, who I enjoyed in those films although he's a jerk and antisemite in real life. I think his real speech patterns and thought processes are close to the character played in Conspiracy Theory, actually, although he is talented, but I could do without his religious film.

My favorite actress is Tuesday Weld in the 1960s up through 1970 in movies such as Lord Love a Duck, The Cincinnati Kid, Soldier in the Rain, Pretty Poison and I Walk the Line.
