May I ask how old you are?
The prevailing thought until fairly recently was that for the most part, movies got worse in the '60s, were bad in the '70s, and nearly unwatchable in the '80s. About 20 years ago, the very hipsters who you denigrate began floating the idea that "maybe those movies were actually good."
Keep in mind, I'm not making some blanket statement that every film made after 1959, or whatever year, is awful. There are certainly quality films from all eras. But, if you spoke to someone in, say, 1995, about film, the overwhelming opinion was that movies had been a steep decline since the '50s, and there had only recently been a reversal of that trend.
