There haven't been any good movies for years.
Can anyone name any good movies during the past 5 years? I would like to know.

I haven't been "over the moon" about anything during the last two years, however in 2015 I really enjoyed LaLa Land and a little Irish film Sing Street. Maybe it's me but I liked The Man From Uncle and recently King Arthur(both by the same director). Bridge of Spies which introduced me to Mark Rylance. Still Alice. Whiplash is in my Top 10.
shareThe 80s had the best movies.
shareI won't argue the point. There were indeed Direct Hits that shook the earth.
ADDENDUM: Left alone Stallone putting "First Blood" down onto celluloid is a transcendent moment in time.
"They drew first blood."
"Protesting me."
"Spitting on me."
"Why are you pushing me?"
Scanning the Sheriff's office intake---gathering Intel---sighting the arsenal cabinet.
Sylvester Stallone
Terminator,Back to the Future, Nightmare on Elm St,Hellraiser, I could go on,lol

Turning America topsy-turvy as Terminator.
- "Will you do it, Arn?"
- The suits.

I wonder how long it took him to sign on the line which was dotted?

Sure, he sold out in 2. But, "Terminator" ain't 2.

Recent movies suck, but two that I really did like:
Lion
Darkest Hour
Escape Plan
Ingrid Goes West
I agree with you that movies get worse over time. I have seen several hundred movies from the last 5 years and I am losing enthusiasm for movie in general. My favorite genre is thriller and even basic thrillers are incompetent now. The movie trends seem to be superhero with large budget, CGI, and very modern sensibilities with dialogue tropes. These will look dated in 5 year I hope. The other trend is small independent movie which tend to be politically elitist but there are creative ones mixed in. They tend to have weaknesses somewhere in the production, or gimmick endings. There are no movies in the middle, with reasonable budgets, R ratings, and strong characters. I don't understand where the money goes. These movies with CGI look like video games because the motion is hyper kinetic. They can't even afford a tripod. Spielberg seems to have inspired this trend of washing out the colors so the movie is almost black and white, or putting a color filter over the lens so everything looks dingy. Why does a movie like Benjamin Button look like vomit green and brown?
You can always find a good movie once in a great while, but in my opinion the quality has generally been going downhill.
I would never venture to put an arbitrary length to it , such as 5 , 10 or any amount of specific years.
But , like a character in a Tarantino movie , I am old school.
Pardon my cliche , but they simply do not make em' like they used to
In no particular order:
Annihilation
Nebraska
Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing Missouri
Blade Runner 2049
Ex Machina
Whiplash
Birdman
Hell or High Water
Her
A Quiet Place
12 Years a Slave
Deadpool
Moonlight
Manchester by the Sea
Get Out
Dunkirk
Interstellar

You're right. There haven't been any great movies in the past few years. Good, yeah, depending on your taste. I liked Sing Street. Ex Machina was all right but I wouldn't watch it again for a while probably. I enjoyed The Greatest Showman and even I won't call it great.
